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.

NEWS: Founders Fund turned a $600 million bet on SpaceX into more than $50 billion.
Peter Thiel's Founders Fund was the first institutional investor in SpaceX. It put in about $600 million across several rounds over nearly 20 years.
At the $135 $SPCX IPO price, that roughly 3% stake is worth more than $50 billion, Bloomberg reports. It is one of the great venture bets of all time.
Founders Fund is not alone. Bloomberg says Valor Equity holds about 4% worth nearly $70 billion. Andreessen Horowitz sits on more than $10 billion.
Thiel saw it coming. "I would never bet against Elon in anything." Hard rule number one in Silicon Valley.

was interviewing a new grad & i didn't blink an eye when he used cloudflare instead of aws for his system design
cf's engineering, product, design, & marketing have been completely reoriented around building things agents want & leading indicators show they were correct to have done so
it's not impossible to think that cf could flip aws in market cap within the next 5 years. we are still very early in the ai cycle
many things have yet to really start changing

Gemini DOES NOT power Siri
Apple foundational models power Siri
Those models are based on Gemini technology.
It is not Gemini.
Apple and Google have been clear about this since January.

it's unclear if tech people yet realize that perspectives on ai usage differ dramatically depending on if you are token rich or token poor.
the idea of looping comes from a place of incredible privilege.
recommending that someone who works at an ai startup with unlimited token budget try looping makes complete sense.
however, that same idea told to someone with only a $2k/mo token budget would seem completely implausible.
what happens when millions of people start evaluating jobs based on what their token allowance will be? what happens to the longtail of administrative paper pushers that don't adapt? what happens to low throughput artists, engineers, or even lawyers and actuaries that can't be trusted to allocate spend?
every form of individual knowledge worker is going to be evaluated from the perspective of "do i trust this person to allocate tokens effectively?"
there are going to be massive investments into new hiring processes. organizations will need to rearchitect their structures to find orchestrators like Peter
my near term recommendation is to do everything in your power to work somewhere that trusts you to spend tokens.
you're ngmi if you only have $2k/mo to play with.

Here’s your monthly reminder that you shouldn’t be prompting coding agents anymore.
You should be designing loops that prompt your agents.
