The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.
Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

Isn’t it weird how Anthropic is being bullied by the gov like that?
Essentially today you either submit to the Trump administration or you get shaken down by the mafia gov?
Reminds me of when David Marcus was telling us at Libra/Diem that we were getting shaken down by the admin at the time.
I guess this was nothing compared to the Trump era.
My heart goes out to Anthropic’s employees. Stay strong.

every time an agent says load-bearing to me, I have no idea what it actually means

If you’re trying to get the most out of your coding agents, take a look at this.
@christinetyip and I mention a few emerging patterns:
1. Shifting left (or not) in harness engineering
2. Compressing intent and coercing the genius out of the model using precise language
3. Tool interfaces, CLI composition, and when code mode wins
4. Using oracles for testing and even as specs!
Check out the recording for the full conversation.

In the age of AI, taste is the differentiator.
But how do you channel taste into the things you build?
@bkase_ and I discuss 4 emerging practices:
Shifting left inside agent harnesses, expert language, tool interfaces, and oracles.
01:54 @_lopopolo's (OpenAI) talk on harness engineering and shifting left
05:45 Birgitta Böckeler on guides and sensors in harness engineering
13:11 @rauchg (Vercel) on mastery of language in the age of AI
17:04 @bkase_ on borrowing expert language from an additional domain (algebra) with better abstractions
26:06 MCP, CLI tools, Bash, and code mode
32:07 @trq212 (Anthropic) on how Claude can express a workflow through code
35:47 @mattzcarey (Cloudflare) on a code-mode-style approach to search
36:37 @bkase_ on when using code mode is better
40:48 @justincormack (former CTO at Docker) on building an S3 clone using an oracle at @tessl_io's AI Native DevCon London
Would love to hear what practices others are using to channel taste into what they build.

"There was some excitement and confusion about the cryptanalysis of the McEliece public-key cryptosystem a few years ago. Korzhik and Turkin, announced that they had broken the cryptosystem. ... However, the demonstration was only a toy" (quote from 1997: web.archive.org/web/20060129…)

it's crazy how we barely stopped to appreciate how INSANE this new LLM invention is, and how it is transforming our lives.
I feel like it was yesterday, when we were mind blown that the Turing test had been passed, and we could all use the AI ourselves.
We got used to it so quickly.
