Claude Fable 5 is so back from timeout. And people are already going crazy with it. 10 wild examples:
@minchoi
Sonnet 5 is here. It's worse than Opus 4.8 on nearly every benchmark... Does that mean it's useless? Absolutely not. Use it with Claude Code Dynamic Workflows! 1. /model set to Sonnet 5 2. /effort set to Ultracode 3. Any complex task will kick off a dynamic workflow This will only become more powerful when Fable is back. You'll use Fable 5 as the superintelligent advisor and Sonnet 5 as the fast and efficient implementer.

@ClaudeDevs
As engineering, product, design, DS, etc. melt into a new kind of role, I was reflecting on what roles might look like in the future. For example, when I look at the Claude Code team I see what I think is five archetypes: 1. Prototyper: comes up with brand new ideas; churns out many ideas, most of which don't ship 2. Builder: quickly turns a prototype/idea into production-grade product/infra 3. Sweeper: cleans up the UI, simplifies the code and system, unships, optimizes performance 4. Grower: takes a product that has been built and iterates on it to improve Product-Market Fit 5. Maintainer: owns a mature system to make it secure, reliable, fast, and efficient as it scales Many people span across 2 roles, and sometimes 3 roles. I also notice that these roles are not really tied to job function -- eg. across Anthropic, some designers match category 1, some 2, some 3; same for engineers, PM, DS. A healthy team needs a mix of these, depending on the product: - A product that is new and pre-PMF needs people that are strong at 1+2+3 - A product that is growing and has found PMF needs 2+3+4 and some 5 - A product that has strong PMF needs 3+4+5 and some 2 Maybe product roles of the future will look more like this, and less like the domain-specific roles of today?
@bcherny
Andrej Karpathy joined Anthropic five weeks ago. Yesterday my friend on his team sent me the Claude.md file he actually uses. It completely changed how I work with Claude. From the very first message, the difference was obvious. With this file, Claude finally stops fighting me and starts working exactly the way I need it to. Bookmark it before it gets taken down. Read it now, then check the article below.
@Raytar
"We give [agents] tasks overnight and then we wake up and the backlog is resolved and bugs are squashed." Here's my new episode with @jess__yan, product lead at Anthropic. Jess showed me how to build a long-running Claude agent from scratch and how Anthropic product teams use agents internally to: → Understand the codebase → Synthesize user feedback → Pressure-test API decisions Some quotes from Jess: "You should be able to tag [agents] anywhere, but they should also proactively surface things for you in the way that a co-worker truly would." "For me, agents really unlock depth. Rather than poking engineers on what they’re doing, I can just track the PRs directly and see which ones are merged." "Long-running cloud agents are not bound by the constraints of your laptop and when it's on." 📌 Watch now:

@ClaudeDevs
I’ve had a number of conversations with folks inside and outside government about the current situation with Anthropic, and here is what I believe to be true: — As we know, Anthropic publicly released its Mythos class models earlier this week under the commercial name Fable. — Fable is Mythos with guardrails. But if those guardrails fail, then you’ve exposed Mythos and its advanced cyber capabilities to people who shouldn’t have them. (Keep in mind that Anthropic itself widely promoted the idea that Mythos was a cyberweapon and needed to be regulated as such. They asked for government regulation of Mythos and championed the guardrails on Fable. If there is a vulnerability — big or small — it is Anthropic’s responsibility to patch.) — A highly credible trusted partner of both Anthropic and the USG who was testing Fable came forward with a jailbreak of those guardrails. The Admin asked Dario to fix the jailbreak or de-deploy the model. Dario refused. — In their blog post, Anthropic defended its decision by saying the jailbreak isn’t serious. That is not what the trusted partner and the USG believe; nor is that kind of minimizing language consistent with Anthropic’s brand as the AI safety company. It’s difficult to fathom how they could claim a jailbreak allowing operability of a cyber weapon could be defined as not “serious.” — In the past, Anthropic has always said that safety must be top priority and taken super seriously. In this case, Anthropic prioritized the continued offering of the consumer model over safety. — In reaction, the Admin issued the export control. The Admin did this reluctantly. It’s been very surprised that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to cooperate with a reasonable safety request (ie fixing the jailbreak issue). Anthropic’s reaction is very much at odds with their branding and ethos as a safe AI research community. — The Admin’s hope now is that Anthropic remediates the safety issue, the export control is lifted, and Fable goes back into general release. The Admin wants all of this to happen as soon as possible. It is frankly bewildered that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to comply with safety requests that it previously said were its highest priority. — Those trying to misdirect and tie this action to the prior DoW/Anthropic issues are wrong. The Admin values Anthropic’s technical capabilities and feels that this issue, while serious, should be easily resolved. The ball is in Anthropic’s court.
@DavidSacks
Less than 24 hours ago, Anthropic dropped Claude Fable 5. Minds are blown. And people are already coming up with wild use cases. 10 examples:
@minchoi
Recently, we purchased one of each Anthropic/OpenAI subscription plan and randomly ran long horizon coding tasks until we exhausted the weekly limit. It's widely believed that a $200/month plan maxes out at ~$2000/month worth of tokens (assuming API pricing). However, we found that the subscriptions are actually far more generous. (2/4)
@SemiAnalysis_
Getting the most out of Claude Fable 5, Anthropic’s powerful new model, you need to maximize your ambition: It’s built for full task delegation—you leave it looping for hours or overnight and come back to a finished product. If you want to get the most out of it, you need to relearn what software engineering is and how to step away to let the model do its work. That’s why I invited @mikeyk, head of Anthropic Labs, on @every’s AI & I. Mike’s been using Mythos-class models for a few months now internally at Anthropic, and he’s learned a ton of new tricks to make its increased powers work for him. And, as a co-founder of Instagram, he can reflect on how software engineering has changed over the last 15 years and what it means going forward. We get into: - Why the right workflow for Fable 5 is overnight delegation, not back-and-forth iteration—Mike ends his workday by briefing the model, then wakes up to a completed task. When a remote service went down mid-task, Fable 5 wrote a workaround, documented it, and forged ahead - The gap between what’s in your head and what exists in the world is closing fast—given access to Fable 5 and a set of internal MCPs, an Anthropic recruiter described the experience as, "The first time in my life where I feel like the thing that's in my head and the thing that exists in the world are right next to each other. I can just do it." - Software engineering isn’t dead, but the role has been reinvented—the PM/eng split is blurring, and the better engineers Mike talks to are holding two feelings at once: loss for the craft and shock at what’s now possible - Verification is the new bottleneck—Mike gives Fable video captures of its own work so it can catch animation glitches that screenshots would miss This is a must-watch for anyone building software and trying to figure out their role now that the models can handle so much. Watch below! Timestamps Introduction: 00:00:03 How Fable completely reshaped Mike's workflow: 00:01:48 When to use Sonnet versus Fable: 00:04:48 What the media tracker Mike built over a weekend reveals about agent-native architecture: 00:10:06 The cost to build has collapsed: 00:15:00 Is software engineering over?: 00:19:03 How Anthropic's engineering teams work today: 00:21:48 The mechanics of verification: 00:38:39 Dynamic workflows: 00:47:24 What people should use the model to build: 00:44:39

You have Claude Fable for only a few days. Here's how to make the most of it. Introducing /improve: use your most capable model to audit your codebase and write plans for cheaper models to execute later. Studies your code, figures out bugs, perf, tech debt, missing tests, what to build and writes plans any agent can run.

Designing loops with Fable 5
@RLanceMartin
This is a super exciting release - Claude Fable 5 is the same underlying model as Mythos but with added safeguards. The benchmarks are great and it's SOTA on everything by a margin but I'll add that *qualitatively* also, this is a major-version-bump-deserving step change forward (imo of the same order as Claude 4.5 was in November), peaking especially for long problem-solving sessions on very difficult problems. You can give it a lot more ambitious tasks than what you're used to, the model "gets it" and it will just go, and it's never felt this tempting to stop looking at the code at all (but don't do this in prod!). The model still has quirks that people will run into and the safeguards are configured to be a little too trigger happy for launch, which can hopefully be tuned over time. I feel a lot of things changing as working software increasingly comes out on a tap. The Jevon's paradox kicks in and I feel my own demand for software growing substantially. You can ask for anything - explainers, visualizers, dashboards, bespoke single-use apps (e.g. a full wandb that is hyper-specific just for your project), you can 10X your test suite, auto-optimize code, run giant research projects with custom HTML for the results, anything! "Free your mind" (Matrix ref). Really looking forward to all the things people build!
