Raf Lorenz

Hi, I'm Raf — AI engineer and consultant in Cebu, and the "in the loop" in @rafintheloop is the whole thesis: AI agents should run autonomously. Humans should stay in the loop — with policy gates, audit trails, and the final say. That's why I'm building Harmony in public: an AI agent orchestration system with a state machine, policy-as-code layer, and GitHub-native task tracking. I post daily about: → Claude Code workflows that survive contact with production → Building Harmony — wins, failures, architecture calls → Real-world AI adoption Repo: github.com/raflorenz/harm… Stay in the loop 👇

@zerohedge I don't get this, we all know that max plans are heavily subsidized to the point they are losing money out of it Some people are just ungrateful man tssk, just use api credits if you are gonna complain about subscription plans

*ANTHROPIC SUED OVER LIMITS ON ITS $200-A-MONTH AI PLANS: WSJ *CUSTOMER ALLEGES ANTHROPIC FAILED TO DELIVER PROMISED VALUE:WSJ

@PolymarketMoney Some people are just ungrateful man, we all know that max plans are heavily subsidized to the point they are losing money out of it Just use api credits if you are gonna complain about subscription plans tssk

JUST IN: Anthropic has been sued for allegedly misleading customers on Claude Max usage limits.

@VictorTaelin Once you taste Fable you never go back, that's how special it is It suddenly feels like you lost desire to use other previous models

I'm having a break. I'll be back when Fable is. Bend2 should come 2 weeks after that... I've been working 24/7, made a LOT of progress with Fable, but this weekend bots just regressed shit we had fixed. I'm tired & stressed Sorry :( Below is a chart I'm not proud of

@ThePrimeagen It's not 100% solved but Fable can get you there 95%, maybe even more depending on the project The last 5% still needs a software dev and it's still hard

just never forget that the devs who yap about AI being the best thing ever all day never really knew how to program well to begin with. They are idiots telling you that the world is solved (charitable read) or worse, they are selling you something and are attempt to deceive you. This is why we see the same cycle every time. Opus 4 = God's gift to humanity to OMG its utter trash within a few months. The same thing happens with every model release because these people don't even know what dev is. They are larpers. I believe this is what Geohotz meant when he: "I’m calling it now, the adoption of AI agents into software development will be one of the most costly mistakes in the field’s history."

@rezoundous It's really a special model, the most capable and advance, most people don't like to go back to older models after they taste it. Though some has negative feedback due to tight safeguards

Fable 5 is the first model I've seen that has near unanimous positive feedback on X

Fable got suspended and suddenly every model feels weaker, dumber, unbearable. I have no desire to use Opus 4.8 and GPT-5.5, even though they are good. Am I the only one feeling this?

@Kappaemme1926 pretty sure a lot of people are feeling this way now

Fable got restricted and suddenly every model feels weaker. GPT-5.5, Opus… good, but not that good. Am I the only one feeling this?

hmm, looks like Fable is already available on the desktop app

Today is your monthly reminder that depending on a single model is a liability. Multi-model fallbacks aren't a nice-to-have anymore, they're table stakes.

The Fable 5 suspension is the first time I've watched a model get pulled mid-workflow over an export directive, not a capability bug. Different kind of supply-chain risk than we've been planning for. If your stack assumes a single frontier model is always reachable, today is the memo.

@scaling01 scam altman is playing a different game

I told you OpenAI is going to do something crazy

@theo and amazon is one the biggest partner of openai, hmmm smell something fishy

Wall Street Journal is reporting that Amazon reported the jailbreaks to the Department of Commerce, who instituted the ban

@jackbutcher man this is insane, poetic

@Abhishocked @dillon_mulroy definitely not all of asia, but still a lot write code by hand here

@rafintheloop @dillon_mulroy Maybe not in all of Asia.

imagine if they banned all models and we all went back to writing code by hand and the last 6 months were just a fever dream…imagine

@OfficialLoganK did ilya also predict that google will be safe from this?

Ilya was right and predicted much of this

@nateherk @HyperFrames_ man this is fucking insane, unbelievable might be the reason Fable 5 is suspended now, 😢

Claude Fable 5 made this entire video by itself. I gave it a /goal prompt, went to the gym, and came back to this. Even the sound effects. Shoutout @HyperFrames_

this is ridiculous, it just doesn't make sense and if they suspend Fable 5 and Mythos 5, why would they don't suspend GPT 5.5 and Gemini 3 from other labs? are those models not good enough to pose a risk?

@ClaudeDevs this is ridiculous man, absolutely no good reason to do this if the suspension will not be lifted soon, might as well banned the frontier models of openai, google tssk

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.

@AnthropicAI absolutely ridiculous, there's no good reason to do this, hopefully the suspension will be lifted soon if not lifted, it will be a bad look to frontier models, might as well banned the frontier models of openai, google

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…
