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…

The @torontolibrary gave me my first job and opened a lot of doors for a kid growing up in Scarborough. Today, @aratisharma and I are matching donations to @TPL_Foundation 2X up to $100,000 to help fund after-school programs across the city. Donate 📚➡️ tplfoundation.ca/GoodFuture

One reason inventory is growing so fast across @Wander is WanderOS — the Shopify of travel. Combined with wander.com, it’s a core piece of infrastructure for experiencing the world.

Proudly have backed Ryan through weekend fund II, III and now IV. A constant professional with a wonderful pulse on where the world is going.
Announcing Weekend Fund IV, backed by operators and founders (and maybe you). When we raised Weekend Fund III, we did something different. Toward the end of our raise, we announced the fund in public and accepted applications from LPs. Our goal was to make early-stage venture more accessible and align ourselves with an army of operators and founders to help us and the startups we back. Over 1,000 people expressed interest to join and hundreds did, but there was a problem. Legally, only accredited investors could participate as an LP. Accreditation laws are well-meaning but limit access to the majority of consumers. With WF IV, @vedikaja_in and I are doing something different. Like before, we’re onboarding engineers, designers, researchers, data scientists, salespeople, and other domain experts as LPs in the fund. But this time at a larger scale with USVC. AngelList recently announced USVC, a new kind of fund that’s accessible to everyone, including the non-accredited. It holds positions in private late-stage companies like xAI, Anthropic, OpenAI, Sierra, and Vercel. I personally invested. Today, they just announced their investment in Weekend Fund IV, one of the first early-stage funds added to their portfolio. If you’re interested in being a part of Weekend Fund and getting exposure to generational startups mentioned above, visit usvc [dot] com. Of course, don’t invest what you can’t afford to lose. Investing in startups is risky and you may lose all your money. USVC shares are illiquid with no guarantee of repurchase. Consider investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. Read the prospectus: usvc [dot] com/prospectus. Also, USVC is currently limited to US citizens. They’re working to open the fund to other geographies. Lastly, my DMs are open. :)

We've added so many locations on @Wander that my brain can't keep track of them all anymore – and I just found one in the Mayan jungle with a cave. Totally iconic.

The gulf in knowledge between the West Coast and East Coast is wildly broader than I’ve ever experienced, in both directions. And widening further by the day.

Stop taking advice from people who've never built anything. If they haven't put something on the line, their opinion on your risk isn't worth hearing. The people who judge the attempt are never the ones making one.
