finally seems to be happening, totally agree with you tho (and even more annoying given the entire network _does_ have cellular coverage, but only for Network Rail use, they could have allowed other networks on the infra)

Adding Starlink to every UK train would be an incredible productivity boost 🛰️

@thdxr Was ths the "little frank" model you pted a while ago?
English
one thing i am worried about is that it's possible that 50% of our enjoyment came from its speed
and maybe it doesn't continue to be as fast once it's publicly available
dax@thdxr
i've never hyped a model release, we're generally conservative with how we use these things but gpt-5.6 has had a massive impact on our team, we're using 5x the tokens as we used to it's not even smarter than fable or anything, but it's just so reliable and fun to use

As someone that has got so much flak off people for estimating frontier AI labs gross margin inference % at ~90% for the past ~year it is good to see @SemiAnalysis_ agreeing

Huge: China’s MiniMax Plans to Launch 2.7-Trillion Parameter Model (MiniMax Pro)
tl;dr MiniMax is preparing a 2.7T parameter open-source model, potentially launching as early as Q3.
That would make it far larger than any Chinese model currently on the market, and over 6x bigger than MiniMax’s current M3 model.
China’s open-source AI wave is not slowing down. Looks like they just started.

@bcherny Any way to disable this? Esp for non-code tasks it has a habit of going absolutely crazy and spawning dozens of subagents for simple tasks
English
Just landed nested subagent support in Claude Code
Starting to experiment more with agents kicking off agents as a way to better manage context. Capped at depth=5 to start, going out in today’s release.
Lmk what you think!
English
@GergelyOrosz Important to add that those Claude Code issues you referred to from April were harness problems, not model issues per se. But I agree with your general point.
English
It’s a bit rich for Anthropic’s CEO to badmouth open models, after Anthropic silently nerfed Claude in April (and later admitted in a postmortem)
Open models cannot and be “nerfed” in a way that Anthropic has already done, and can do in the future.
They also threaten Anthropic

"open source is kind of a distraction you still can’t really see what’s happening inside the model, so it’s not truly "free." After watching the clip, I’m even more convinced of open source than I was before.

@rowlsmanthorpe Ironically it's terrible for the same reasons that outsourced customer support is (often) terrible.
Strict requirement to follow a script, then no actual tools to make the changes the customer requires, so descends into nonsense slop
English
One of my theories about AI is that people would hate it less if AI customer service wasn't so awful. It's universally terrible (why??) and it makes people mad as hell

Just realised - Claude no longer has that sad little notice about Fable not being available. We're never going to see it are we?

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.
Anthropic@AnthropicAI
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…

Enjoyed chatting with @pascalfinnete - give it a listen here: rdcl.is/a-podcast-with…

Yeah not a good launch for opus 4.8 at all. Been seeing loads of this spamming huge amount of tool calls. And intermittent auto mode failures on top of this.
I've seen this across multiple sessions, even brand new ones (asking it to translate a bunch of markdown files with parallel subagents), opus 4.7 gets it in one and then opus 4.8 implodes trying to OCR markdown files (!?) with a bash tool storm cc @trq212 @bcherny
Xander Steenbrugge@xsteenbrugge
Is it just me or is Opus 4.8 in CC sometimes just absolutely retarded? In this session it just got stuck in a loop calling "echo" and checking the date 20x times in a row... This has been happening very regularly since the 4.7 --> 4.8 update. WTF? @claudeai @bcherny
English
.@ClaudeDevs auto mode constantly flaking out on opus 4.8. seems worse on longer sessions (been like this for a while...)
English
So much for the frontier labs subsidising inference!

Gemini 3.2 Flash - Capitalizing on DeepMind's clever distillation techniques...
Rumors are that benchmarks show it's hitting 92% of GPT 5.5's performance on coding and reasoning tasks while being 15-20x cheaper on inference costs. The latency improvements are insane - sub-200ms for most queries.
Google's distillation + sparsity techniques are paying off massively. They've essentially compressed a frontier model into a flash variant without the usual quality cliff.

This is what I cannot understand about Anthropic's pricing changes. Many people love conductor, but if you are a heavy user of Claude code via conductor you're going to be running up $1k/month in additional pricing.
And given conductor makes it very easy to switch to codex (one button), it's just a huge churn incentive AND marketing exercise for OpenAI.
The only thing that makes sense (to me) is Anthropic is still v compute constrained and the spaceX partnership only buys them some time...
Charlie Holtz@charlieholtz
Here's what Anthropic pricing updates mean for Conductor users: - You can officially use your Claude sub with Conductor - If you're on a max subscription you get $200 in credits and then can pay at API costs - If you use Big Terminal Mode you won't be affected We're going to keep building the best interface for the best coding agents! Excited to show you what we've been cooking🫡
