Claude Fable 5 (Mythos-class) is live: SOTA on agentic SWE (80.3% SWE-Bench Pro), long-horizon reasoning, vision, and complex knowledge work. Built for autonomous, multi-step ops that used to break previous models. Safety done right: narrow high-risk queries (cyber, bio/chem, distillation) auto-fallback to Opus 4.8 (<5% of sessions) with user notification. Full Mythos 5 stays restricted to Glasswing partners. Now available in production environments: → AWS Bedrock Claude Platform on AWS: aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/ant… → Microsoft Foundry (powers GitHub Copilot agents): azure.microsoft.com/en-us/bl… Model ID: claude-fable-5Anthropic blog: anthropic.com/news/claude-fa… folks — what’s your first test: One shot build? codebase migration, agent swarm, or running a loop?

Joshua Kushner's Thrive Capital is putting $1B into buying local accounting firms and rebuilding the back office around AI. The acquisition arm is a company called Current. The pitch to a decades-old CPA firm is unusually candid: sell us a majority stake, keep a meaningful piece for yourselves, and we'll re-engineer your operations with AI. The ownership model is the part worth studying: → Traditional PE buys to sell inside a fixed window → Thrive says it plans to hold for the long run, the way Berkshire Hathaway does → Local partners keep real, meaningful stakes → Patient capital pointed at a fragmented, unglamorous, $100B industry The proof point so far is Larson Gross — one accountant, one office in Bellingham, WA in 1949, now a regional firm with five offices and 200 staff. In 2025 its partners sold control to Current. Forbes reports the in-house, self-improving models are hitting up to 98% accuracy on data entry. Two things worth holding in view: → Be precise. Data entry is the high-volume floor of accounting, not the judgment work clients actually pay for. The automation is real, but it's automating the bottom of the stack first. → Be skeptical. AI roll-ups have been hyped for years and mostly underdelivered. The gap between the pitch and the operating reality is still wide. The bet underneath all of this: that permanent capital plus AI can run a professional-services firm better than the people who spent decades building it. If it works in accounting, the same template is waiting for law, insurance and consulting. A billion-dollar wager on the back office of American business. forbes.com/sites/annatong/20…

Microsoft Build 2026 is done. The story isn't a feature — it's a posture shift, well for them 🙃 Three years of "Copilot waiting for a prompt." Now: agents that act without one. The stack they shipped to back it: → Project Solara — chip-to-cloud platform for agent-first devices, built on Android (not Windows). Desk hub wearable badge. Reference designs, not products. Pilots: Target, CVS, Best Buy. → Microsoft Scout — first "Autopilot." Always-on, own Entra identity, runs across M365. Built on OpenClaw. Frontier preview only. → 7 new AI models incl. their first reasoning model, in Azure AI Foundry. → Surface RTX Spark Dev Box for local agent workloads (Very Cool) The real product isn't the demos. It's the governance layer underneath — per-agent identity, policy checks, audit trails. An always-on agent acting unprompted in your tenant is the thing that scares security teams. That's the problem Microsoft is actually trying to solve. Capability was never the blocker. Deployability is. news.microsoft.com/build-202…

Anthropic's new Claude Opus 4.8 just quietly set a new bar for AI agents. Here's what actually matters: Honesty got a major upgrade. It's 4× less likely to let its own code bugs slip by unnoticed. It flags uncertainty instead of faking confidence. That's rare. Agent performance? It's the only model to complete every case on the Super-Agent benchmark — beating GPT-5.5 at the same cost. 84% on browser agents. First to break 10% on the Legal Agent all-pass standard. Although not all these benchmark reflect real world experience! Dynamic Workflows (Claude Code) now lets you spin up hundreds of parallel subagents in one session. Think: full codebase migrations, start to merge, unattended. Same price as before. Fast mode is now 3× cheaper. Oh, and Mythos-class models — the next tier above Opus — are coming to everyone in weeks, well thats whats being said Worth checking out, not sure it will convince GPT 5.5 diehards, but seem decent upgrade from my experience anthropic.com/news/claude-op…

Andrej Karpathy first day at Anthropic 🤣

I think many of us are "Lazy Workaholics" 🫠
