We have Fable, a Mythos class model. We're announcing Parable, an Epic class model with Legend grade latency. We're releasing Chronicle, an Oracle grade Invocation class model with Soliloquy level safeguards. WE'RE DROPPING REQUIEM, AN EPIC LEVEL MODEL WITH PROPHETIC ALIGNMENT.
Claude naming scheme has so much more potential than ChatGPT’s. “Our new model, Claude Epic” vs “Our new model, 5.6” This is why Mythos is so much more salient in national capitals than 5.5 too

FAILURE OF IMAGINATION—Sure, everybody is clearly racing for recursive superintelligence right now. And the path forward seems so obvious: just automate software engineering, ML engineering and research, and hook it back up to itself. But if automating coding was so obvious, why didn't people go at it from the get-go? If you go and read the model card from Claude 2, for example, it's mostly about chat assistant stuff, like helpfulness, red-teaming, translation, etc. The word "coding" appears just four times, while "translation" appears twelve times! Claude 3 was more about multimodality, long-context document processing, Q&A, writing, etc. It's only around Claude Sonnet 3.5 on June 20, 2024 that model card focus shifts to agentic coding. It's not as if coding was some niche use-case: GitHub Copilot came out in 2021. Indeed, OpenAI's first product named "Codex" was a GPT-3 finetuned for code. Ok, maybe the objection is that everybody knew that automating coding was going to be a big deal, but that the models just weren't good enough, or that we really needed RLVR to make it work. Cursor, which was the fastest product to $100M ARR just two years ago, had been around for years and didn't go vertical until Sonnet 3.5 came out. But then why did the labs spend so much time on a bunch of different side projects that did not help them get to automating coding? If you go back in time to 2024 and tell researchers, by the way, by the end of 2026 you won't be coding anymore, just texting the chatbot on your phone, oh, and agentic coding will be $50! billion! of ARR (remember that anthropic's valuation was under $20B in 2024), do you really think they would spend any time working on: voice models; video models; deep research; browsers (ChatGPT Atlas released seven months ago and you have already forgotten about it). The term "AGI-pilled" comes up a lot. Do you really believe in AGI, do you really understand AGI, and so on. But even the people who are the most AGI pilled at any given time do not fully grasp the full potential of the technology or where it should head; it is largely by stumbling and not by planning that prospecting for gold has succeeded. You should really just think of AGI-pilled as believing that there is a really big "there" there, to the consternation of everybody else, but even AGI's biggest believers continuing to underestimate just how big it really is. Because the broad contours of the most audacious beliefs and predictions of the AGI-pilled have come to pass (we await now the IPOs of two trillion-dollar companies, do we not?) people tend to over-estimate the certainty and accuracy of predictions from back then. But much of what has unfolded was not obvious in foresight. Again, if it was, then some very smart, highly motivated people would have made different decisions. Look, at some point in time, there were two, maybe three people on the planet who believed in scaling: Ilya, Dario, a few others. Not even Sam, who has bought more compute at this point than the GDP of medium-sized countries, believed in scaling back then. Not even Alec, who did the first GPT paper! That was a long time ago. Then more and more people began to believe in scaling. People used "-pilled" as a suffix for scaling then too. I think the difference between really being RSI-pilled and scaling-pilled is that we are now in the regime where

Tweets like this are quite interesting from a Posting perspective: they’re inherently quite viral, but also don’t lend themselves to QT takes like the “name an unbelievable historical fact” one, so we’ll get to see the peak natural reach of a viral post, so to speak.
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…

US citizens at the AI labs all just got a promotion courtesy of the US government. And non-citizens all just got a demotion.

Anthropic has not yet updated Opus' system prompt on Claude dot ai regarding Fable 5. It still says: "There is also Claude Fable 5, the first model in Anthropic's new Claude 5 family and part of a new Mythos-class model tier that sits above Claude Opus in capability. Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 share the same underlying model, but the former has additional safety measures so it can be publicly available. Claude Fable 5 is available on all of the same Claude surfaces as other models, and has the API model string 'claude-fable-5'"

Do you think that Opus 4.8 knows it's the fallback for Fable 5 right now? Do you think Opus gets performance anxiety for substituting for a smarter model? I wonder if Claude Opus has imposter syndrome.

I wouldn’t worry too much about the Fable suspension. It’s the last generation of model that could possibly get yanked from you.

Figured it out. Fable classifiers trigger on neuroscience discussion. 🙄 So much for bio and cybersecurity risks only.
Whenever I ask Fable to search past chats it switches over to Opus 4.8. Apparently something I talked about with Opus is so sensitive I can’t even know what it is. Booo 👎

The classifiers are really, really broad. I asked a question about sleep cycles on submarines and the thing went off.

The claude classifiers are in some sense a mistake because you can adversarially probe them to figure out what they have trained on (don't want you to know about) and then ask grok

Hanging more than one painting on the same wall in a museum is disgusting. An infinite scroll of paintings. Does anybody think tiktok teenagers look at Monet for more than fifteen seconds? They need to do one painting per room and lock you in there for 15 minutes.
