The new round values the physical AI startup that aims to automate heavy engineering and drug design at $41 billion.
After two days of experience with Claude Fable 5 I think the best way to describe it is relentlessly proactive. It knows a whole lot of tricks and it will deploy pretty much any of them to get to its goal. I'll illustrate this with an example. I was hacking on Datasette Agent today when I noticed a glitch: a horizontal scrollbar that shouldn't be there in the jump menu chat prompt. I snapped this screenshot: Then I started a fresh claude session in my datasette-agent checkout, dragged in the screenshot and told it: Look at dependencies to help figure out why there is a horizontal scrollbar here I had a hunch the cause was in a dependency of Datasette Agent (likely Datasette itself) and I knew Fable was good at digging into dependency code, either by inspecting installed files in its own
Wits its official share pricing announcement, SpaceX's IPO has begun.
After SpaceX makes its public debut, lower-tier SPV investors face hidden fees, lengthy payout delays, and the risk of outright fraud.
Deezer introduced a tool that scans playlists from Spotify, Apple Music, and other platforms to identify AI music.
Pool's new app automatically sorts screenshots into personalized collections, tracks down the original links behind saved content, and helps you rediscover products, recipes, travel ideas, and other things you meant to revisit.
Release: datasette 1.0a33 This alpha is a significant step on the road to a stable 1.0, finally extending the ?_extra= pattern I introduced in Datasette 1.0a3 to cover queries and rows in addition to tables. That pattern is also now documented! I wrote a whole lot more about the new release on the Datasette project blog: Datasette 1.0a33 with JSON extras in the API. Because API explorer tools are almost free to build now I had Claude Fable 5 in Claude Code (for the plan) and GPT-5.5 xhigh in Codex Desktop (for the implementation) build me this custom extras API explorer to help demonstrate the feature: Tags: projects, datasette, annotated-release-notes, ai-assisted-programming

The new chatbot, called Ask DoorDash, allows users to search the app for what they're looking for in their own words instead of having to scroll through restaurants and stores to build a cart.
Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate).Happy to discuss any questions here!

Release: asyncinject 0.7 I built this utility library to support an asyncio dependency injection pattern a few years ago. I was using it with Datasette and Claude Fable 5 spotted some bugs in the dependency which it then fixed for me. It's a very proactive model! Tags: async, projects, python, claude-mythos
The decision comes as India emerges as the world’s largest GCC market.
If you doubted his genius, doubt no more.
Anthropic Walks Back Policy That Could Have ‘Sabotaged’ AI Researchers Using Claude Big scoop for Maxwell Zeff at Wired: “We’re changing Fable 5’s safeguards for frontier LLM development to make them visible.” Anthropic said in a statement to WIRED. “We made the wrong tradeoff and we apologize for not getting the balance right.” There's been a huge outcry about Anthropic's policy, tucked away in their system card, that Claude Fable/Mythos would identify "requests targeting frontier LLM development" and "limit effectiveness" without notifying the user. It's very good news that they're dropping this. Tags: ai, generative-ai, llms, anthropic, claude, ai-ethics, claude-mythos

Release: datasette-agent 0.2a0 Highlights from the release notes: Tools can now ask the user questions mid-execution. Tools that declare a context parameter receive a ToolContext object, and await context.ask_user(...) can ask a yes/no, multiple-choice (options=[...]) or free-text (free_text=True) question. While a question is unanswered the agent turn suspends: the question renders as a form in the chat UI and persists to the internal database, so suspended conversations survive a server restart. Once answered, the tool re-executes from the top with stored answers replayed, so call ask_user() before performing side effects. #20 New built-in save_query tool: the agent can save SQL it has written as a Datasette stored query. Saving always requires human approval - the agent shows
A former xAI engineer is suing the company and SpaceX, alleging he was fired for raising AI safety concerns about Grok days before SpaceX's historic IPO.
Companies are burning through exorbitant sums of money to keep pace in the AI arms race. Debt is climbing.
DiffusionGemma Last May Google briefly released an experimental Gemini Diffusion model. I tried the preview at the time and recorded it running at 857 tokens/second. It was an exciting model, but Google made no further announcements about it. That research has returned in the best possible way: as a new open weight (Apache 2 licensed) Gemma model, google/diffusiongemma-26B-A4B-it. NVIDIA are currently hosting the model for free on their NIM cloud API. I used that API to generate this pelican, which took 4.4s (according to time uv run generate.py) to return 2,409 tokens - so at least 500 tokens/second.

Las empresas más obsesionadas con IA están gastando aproximadamente 7.500 dólares mensuales por empleado en IA, según el Ramp AI Index. Eso no es más que el salario de un ingeniero, todavía.
Nueva investigación sugiere que los sistemas de memoria en IA pueden degradar el desempeño del modelo e incentivar tendencias adulonas.
Los investigadores de ciberseguridad se quejan de que el nuevo modelo Fable de Anthropic tiene guardrails demasiado estrictos para cualquier trabajo de ciberseguridad.
Solución fácil para desacelerar la mejora recursiva autónoma de IA: El laboratorio con el modelo mejor clasificado debe acordar que NO debe usarlo para trabajar en IA de frontera. Pero todos los demás deberían tener acceso a él. Por definición, esto significa que la frontera no avanza. También tiene el beneficio crítico de evitar un desequilibrio de poder peligroso. Anthropic eligió lo opuesto al camino seguro: se están permitiendo a sí mismos, el laboratorio líder actual, usar su modelo superior para investigación de IA de frontera. Dijeron que sabotearán a otros que lo intenten. Esto significa que la frontera de IA avanza y el desequilibrio de poder aumenta. (Para ser claro, no creo que deberíamos intentar desacelerar la mejora recursiva autónoma de IA, creo que deberíamos abrirla y demo
La startup de agentes de IA para código Niteshift recaudó una ronda seed de 7 millones de dólares de un grupo de ángeles de renombre. Apuesta a que las empresas querrán tener poder sobre los creadores de modelos, no dependencia de ellos.

Hey gang, you may remember me from such books as _The Lean Startup_ and _The Startup Way_.It's been fifteen years since I wrote The Lean Startup, and in that time I've seen some things. In both big companies and tiny startups, NGOs and governments, in almost every industry you can name.I've helped a lot of people create a lot of amazing companies, but I've also seen so many ways this can go wrong. There's a darkness in our industry that we often don't talk about.I kept watching good companies drift away from the missions they were founded on. Not because anyone woke up one day and decided to be evil, but because the structure they were built on slowly pulled them there. I call that pull "financial gravity."We've all experienced watching a company we love or admire be warped and broken beyo
