Why the Government Just Killed Claude Fable 5

From the creator

Anthropic just shut off access to Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after a U.S. government export-control directive cited national security concerns. In this video, I break down what happened, why Fable 5 was such a big deal, how it connects to the more powerful Mythos model, why the government may have reacted to a reported jailbreak claim, and why Anthropic says the decision is based on a misunderstanding. I also cover how long users actually had access, why people were so excited about the model, how expensive it was to run, and what this could mean for the future of frontier AI access. The bigger question is whether the best AI models will remain available to regular users, or whether governments and a small number of approved companies will control access to the most capable systems.

Makers residency 4th edition

Your idea can be anything. At our last workshops, people built plant-based nutrition businesses, a way to measure planetary resilience, crochet headwear and a way to connect lonely people living in the same building. An asset manager went on to raise an additional £25M on their fund within nine months. The fourth workshop is a full day at KOKO with Nick Sarafa, learning to build with Claude Code. Bring the thing you keep meaning to start. We’ll bring the pizza.
