Huge AI News as we go hands on with Anthropic's Claude Fable 5, the most powerful AI model ever released. Spoiler: We found it very good. What happens next?

This week on AI For Humans, Gavin Purcell and Kevin Pereira break down everything you need to know about Claude Fable 5, the first publicly available model in Anthropic's frontier Mythos class. We share our own hands-on impressions, look at the one-shot demos blowing up the internet, and get into the messy parts too: the token burn complaints, the trigger-happy safety guardrails that route some prompts to Opus 4.8, and the reversal Anthropic made after the community pushed back. Plus, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published a major essay on AI policy and the exponential, OpenAI is reportedly considering steep price cuts as both companies race toward IPOs.

WE GOT CLAUDE'D. AGAIN.
