Claude Fable 5 will be available again globally tomorrow. After a series of productive conversations with the US government, we're redeploying the model with a new set of classifiers to target and block more cybersecurity tasks. In the near term, some routine tasks like coding and debugging will fall back to Opus 4.8. We’ll continue to refine these classifiers over the coming weeks to reduce false positives and better distinguish genuine misuse from legitimate requests. We’ve also begun drafting a consensus framework—with Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and other Glasswing partners—for assessing the severity of AI jailbreaks and how AI developers should respond to them. We invite other industry partners and model providers to join us in this effort. Finally, we’re scaling up our collaboration with the US government on model testing and safeguards. This will include pre-release access to models and safeguards for evaluation, information sharing on jailbreaks and misuse, and dedicated resources for joint research. Thank you to our users for your patience, and to our partners across the government, industry, and the research community who worked alongside us to make Fable 5 available again.

BREAKING: Anthropic announces US Department of Commerce has lifted export controls on Fable platform

Claude 100% throws away your Claude.md file context all the time, plan accordingly lol

Two more bookings right off of the Facebook feed on Father’s Day. I don’t get or want Facebook leads anymore. Just straight bookings. Soon, every home service business will join me. Tell your marketer about Routemize and run the same experiment. Leads are a waste of time. The entire purpose of leads is to book appointments. Shorten the friction.

Everyone telling you you are using AI wrong has a dog in the flight. Use it however is best for you and your organization. You can perfect anything but at what cost!? If your workflow is working, let it be for a bit, there is always some new shinny thing.

A short history of how we got here, because the chronology is the whole story. January: the Pentagon demands unrestricted use of Claude for autonomous weapons and domestic surveillance. Anthropic says no. February: the President orders every federal agency to drop Anthropic. The Defense Secretary bans Pentagon contractors from doing business with them. A rival announces its classified-network deal within hours. March: the Pentagon designates an American company a "supply chain risk" under a statute written for foreign adversaries. A federal judge blocks it. May: the Pentagon signs AI deals with seven companies. Anthropic is not one of them. June 9: Anthropic releases Fable 5. June 12: Commerce issues an export control directive over a jailbreak that, by the government's own account, was demonstrated verbally, came with no written explanation, and involves a capability you can get from other publicly available models today. Two things are true at once. First: Anthropic spent months marketing Mythos as too dangerous to release. Sam Altman said it was "incredible marketing to say we have built a bomb." The Commerce Department has now formally agreed it is a bomb. If you describe your product as a munition in every press release, eventually a government takes you at your word. They wrote the legal predicate themselves and called it a brand. Second: we have run this experiment before. In the 90s the government classified encryption as a munition under ITAR. Activists defeated it by printing PGP's source code as a book, because books are protected speech and floppy disks were arms exports. A t-shirt with three lines of RSA Perl was legally a munition. The controls collapsed because math does not stop at customs. The new wrinkle is the "deemed export" rule: showing controlled technology to a foreign national inside the US counts as exporting it abroad. Which is why Anthropic's own foreign-national employees are now locked out of the model they built. The munition is in the building and the people who made it are not allowed to look at it. The jailbreak is the paperwork. The refusal was in January.

Dear US government, Since you've just blocked Fable and Mythos on critical national security grounds, here are some other tools that pose a similar threat to the American people: - Microsoft Teams - SAP - Salesforce - Jira - Outlook Please do what you must to save America 🇺🇸

Burning tokens for loops is crazy IMO. I do that outside of clause for free.

Wemby moved into a new category last night.

I think it's time for bed, let's pick this back up tomorrow.

🚨 Our varsity Men’s Triad FIRST48 “County Clash” has been moved from the end of the 25/26 school year to the beginning of the 26/27 year. 🗓️ Saturday, August 15th, 2026 📍TBD Let’s see who the best players in the TRIAD are entering the 26/27 Season!

Claude as been terrible this week, don't know what they did but it's guessing a lot, drifting and not listening.

UAA has outsourced it's grassroots to 3 Step & it's obvious the focus has been on paying teams NOT on it's top teams. Mike Barnett whose company is/was owned by 3Step is no longer involved with Adidas 3SSB. Nike EYBL is directly controlled by persons who are Nike employees

Dinos -- I don't think most people realize that most of these "circuits" are run by third party companies that get funding from shoe companies as marketing spend -- They decide who gets dollars. Not the brands themselves. 3STEP Sports controls a ton of it all by themselves.

AI tools are so easy anyone can…well sort of. They are learning new skills. They probably now know about CLIs, Terminals, GitHub, IDEs, APIs, MCPs and plugins… It’s not that now anyone can do it, they always could have, they are just learning new skills faster.

Everyone keeps asking me what @routemize does! Simply put, it solves this problem: Field services cannot book instant appointments this way. I have known and tried to solve this problem for 7 years now, because I personally have dealt with this. In @dripjobs the way we overcame this was to create a "request" based form, which allowed the user to review every request manually before allowing a booking to go through. This would rely on their ability to know the terrain in order to identify the best place to put the appointment, along with many other factors. It worked, but it wasn't efficient, and still isn't. My co-founder @rickschott and I decided to spin off and create another app - @routemize, because of how many layers are required to actually pull off instant bookings with route-optimization configured at the point of booking. It had to be perfect. The theory was: Someone needs to be able to go to a booking form, and select a time, without any lapse - instantly, and that time, be perfectly optimized - as if a human were looking at it and making a decision. And we DID it. It's currently being used in my painting business, and a few others. The results are insane. It works, and of course, it plugs right into @dripjobs, seamlessly. This will be BIG.

Anthropic just mass-obsoleted every agent orchestration startup in a single launch. The screenshot tells the full story. That's a production fleet dashboard. 8 agents running. 247 completed tasks. Active status. MCP-connected to HubSpot, pulling deals, generating proposals, reading attachments. This isn't a demo. It's a managed production environment where you define the agent and Anthropic runs the infrastructure. The timing here is surgical. Four days ago, Anthropic blocked OpenClaw and every third-party harness from using subscription credentials. The message was clear: stop building on top of our consumer auth layer. Now here's the replacement. A first-party managed agent platform with fleet monitoring, production-grade MCP integrations, and prototype-to-launch timelines measured in days. Manus spent six months on five harness rewrites. LangChain spent a year on four architectures. Anthropic just shipped the managed version that eliminates the need to build one at all. The real bet: most companies don't want to build agent infrastructure. They want agents that work. Anthropic is pricing this into the platform the same way AWS priced server management into EC2. The 46% of enterprises citing "integration with existing systems" as their primary agent challenge just got a first-party answer from the model provider itself. Every agent startup that raised on "we make Claude reliable in production" just lost their pitch deck.

Are you kidding me?! 🤯 Last night at 9:40pm my house painting business got a phone call. Our @routemize AI Voice agent handled the entire call, end to end and scheduled a perfect appointment 7.1 miles away from an existing appointment scheduled that same day. Here’s what would’ve normally happened: 1. Call goes to voicemail 2. Admin calls in morning 3. Admin fumbles trying to find a spot for the customer. Doesn’t have time to see which spot is closest while on the phone 4. Picks a slot that “feels right” 5. *IF the customer even answers in the morning Routemize will be the favorite app of anyone who runs a home service business. API friendly and can plug into any software stack. Preferably @dripjobs 😉
