Fable 5 Raises the Bar for AI Ambition

Today on the AI Daily Brief, Anthropic has officially launched Fable five, the first of their Mythos class models. I think fairly undisputedly, the best AI model we have ever been able to use. And yet at the same time, we are now at a level of AI models where how to get the most out of the state of the art isn't as simple as doing your same old prompts, but just with the new model. On today's episode, we're going to be discussing the launch, the benchmarks, the first reactions, and how to get the most out of Fable five. The AI Daily Brief is a daily podcast and video about the most important news and discussions in AI. Alright, friends. Quick announcements before we dive in. First of all, thank you to today's sponsors, KPMG, Section, ZenCoder, and OutSystems. To get an ad free version of the show, go to patreon.com/aidailybrief, or you can subscribe on Apple Podcasts. And, of course, if you wanna learn more about sponsoring the show, send us a note at sponsors@aidailybrief.ai. And by the way, yesterday, I teased that in response to so many requests to make it easier to dissect and share specific parts of episodes, we were going to be experimenting with some new tools to do exactly that. Well, it turns out that Fable five liked what we had started, but thought it made some obvious errors, like not including time stamps on the little share cards with specific parts of the episode and not turning the whole thing into a pipeline that could work automatically. So it did that, and so you might be getting this sooner rather than later. Keep an eye out on the show notes and on a I daily brief dot a I for more of that. But now let's talk Claude fable five. On the one hand, this is not a particularly surprising release. First of all, it's been a couple months now since we heard about this new Mythos class of models. Some companies, of course, have had access to them through Anthropic's project Glasswing. And when we got Opus four eight just a couple of weeks ago, they made it clear that they were working hard to get to a mythos class model that they could release with sufficient guardrails that they could feel confident about it being out in the public. Now I guess what might be a little bit surprising about it is how quick the interval was between four eight and what we got in Fable five, but as we'll see, in a way that's much different than previous state of the art jumps, Opus four eight still has a pretty big role to play in the Fable five led ecosystem. Now then over the last couple of days, rumors started getting loud that some mythos class model was coming, and a little secret for you guys out there, if the loudest AI content creators on places like …
