New Weekly Dev's Brew is live. I got @badlogicgames properly grumpy about AI coding: why code is never free, why spec-driven dev is just waterfall again, and how he survives 50 AI PRs a day. Chapters 👇 0:00 Intro 2:20 Why Pi exists (and why Claude Code stopped fitting) 8:53 What success actually looks like for Pi 10:58 Building beyond the coding agent 13:13 Local AI is getting real 20:13 How Mario actually works 26:38 Discipline, atrophy, and juniors 29:08 Spec-driven dev is just hyper-waterfall 35:03 Code isn't actually free 37:56 Async agents and thinking time 44:42 Learning without the pain 49:13 The coming wave of sloppy software 52:11 GitHub under clanker load 53:31 Family, work, and balance 57:05 The Pi team and leadership 58:52 Refactoring Pi's core 1:03:32 Security, YOLO, and trust 1:06:27 Taming the PR flood 1:12:11 Token prices, and why Anthropic stopped courting devs

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…

As a result of a US government directive, we are suspending access to Claude Fable 5 for all users. You can continue to use all other Claude models. Here’s what this means for you: Across Claude products, new sessions will run on your selected default model or Opus 4.8, and existing Fable 5 sessions will end with an error. On the Claude Platform, requests to Fable 5 will also return an error. Please update your integrations to other Claude models. We know this is a disruption to your workflows; we appreciate your patience and support.

It's out, Fable 5 model, most capable by a jump cursor.com/evals Just looking at the graph, Fable low is cheaper than Opus Max while being a bit better. Caveat is data retention for harm prevention (not training).

I’ve been experimenting with a new Inferno. It’s been 10 years since Inferno took off, and what better way than making it support hooks, TSRX and provide a level of performance that is incredibly consistent. It shifts the paradigm too, rather than having component re-rendering, we have control flow re-rendering. What if we didn’t create virtual DOM, but use something better. No signals, no blockdom, no signal-like API, just top-down rendering, but also something no one has considered before, or even explored. It might be an interesting experiment just purely to go against the common trend of being fine-grained. Maybe you don't don't need fine-grained rendering, when the top-down rendering is mostly just data, and not UI. Backed by an almost 1:1 API with React, minus RSC. It seems very promising. More to come soon.
