That’s why we can’t have pretty things
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…

Creating demand is hard, but historically companies were able to do it.
The Michelin Star In the early 1900s, the Michelin brothers had a problem. They made tyres. And in France, there were only about 3,000 cars on the road. So they published a guide to restaurants, hotels, and petrol stations to encourage people to drive further. A tyre company created the world's most prestigious restaurant rating system. Not because they loved food. Because they understood that what drives behaviour is not the product. It is the reason to use it. What is your audience's reason to act?

Hot take: a 0.01% chance at $100M is a worse bet than a 20% chance at $200K/year. VCs can play the first game. They have 100 portfolio companies. You have one life. Solopreneurs building in public should optimize probability, not jackpot size.

I am currently testing the just-released Fable model from Anthropic. It has already integrated SQLite and performed a nice refactoring of the React Native app. It may be too soon to say for sure, but this model feels different and really good.

Ruby on Rails developers are cooked. Mythos released today: „Software engineering. During early testing, Stripe reported that Fable 5 compressed months of engineering into days. In a 50-million-line Ruby codebase, the model performed a codebase-wide migration in a day that would otherwise have taken a whole team over two months by hand.” #mythos

The most dangerous AI model is out! Another change of subscription?

I just hit 150 followers on X after 2 months of grinding. It took me 1100 tweets, a pretty nice round number for such a small achievement. Just the steady grind of building in public, sharing my experience with AI models, and posting tech news. It might seem like a tiny victory not even worth mentioning, but it means something to me. Did I find my voice? Not yet. But I met some cool people along the way. Thank you all for being part of the journey. I hope you'll see me make my first dollar on the App Store. I keep hearing software engineers can earn money outside the day job, so let's prove it.

Why does typeof proudly tell you "string" and "number"... then look you dead in the eye and call an array "object"? 🤨 That awkward moment you reach for Array.isArray(). Who else got humbled by this? 👇 #JavaScript #WebDev

Dad jokes called and they want their sense of humour back. WTF is that appreciation rap music video at the end of #wwdc keynote? Am I the only one who got youtube rewind vibes from it?

2026 Apple can’t still crack polish language for Siri and apple intelligence. #wwdc

Congratulations @Apple, you’ve just been massively mogged by @Microsoft. Their BUILD conference for the most boring OS on the planet was much more entertaining and showed sparks of vision. WWDC in a nutshell: we tried to fix Siri and I think we failed, but look at how many AI wrappers around Siri. P.S. The criticism comes from someone who owns a MacBook Pro, Apple TV, iPhone, Apple Watch and is a software engineer. #wwdc

I watched the Steve Jobs (2015) movie yesterday to get myself pumped for WWDC 2026. I made a terrible mistake, it gets worse year after year. The presentations are so forced and uninspired. Steve Jobs would be disappointed at how @Apple once again has problems innovating and plays it super safe. It feels like a Java conference with an expensive film crew. #wwdc

Ngl, 40 minutes into WWDC. The conference is extremely disappointing. It looks like the industry leapfrogged Apple, and most of the features sound like gimmicks and are terribly slow even in pre-recorded demos. Is that all you can do, @Apple? #wwdc

New Siri in a nutshell - Siri AI – really creative name - App Actions - On-screen awareness - Visual intelligence - Current world knowledge - It's supposed to be a more fluid experience What can you do with it now? - Dictation fixed?! - Talks Gen Z boss in the mini lingo - Create reminder for getting concert tickets. Not blown away at all - It can tell you where your favorite Instagram influencer posted their photos - Show you photos of cows from last week that you forgot to delete. You creep! - Share photos of cows with family - Change her voice a bit, but still robotic #WWDC
