Open-weight models now match frontier cyber performance from just four months ago at a fraction of the cost
The British AI Security Institute warns that open-weight models like GLM-5.2 and DeepSeek V4-Pro now trail closed frontier models in cyber capabilities by four to seven months. At the start of 2025, the gap was still six to ten months. It also found that safety measures on open models are largely ineffective, leaving defenders less time to prepare.

The Pentagon's new AI playbook treats slow adoption as a bigger risk than imperfect alignment
The US Department of the Navy has signed a strategy to "weaponize" data and AI and build an "AI-first" fleet. Large language models would run directly on warships, and an AI war council would prioritize mission scenarios. The core message is that moving too slowly carries greater risks than "imperfect alignment."

Anthropic slashes Claude Fable 5 limits in Max and Team Premium and pushes Pro users toward API pricing
Anthropic will include Claude Fable 5 in Max and Team Premium plans starting July 20, but at just 50 percent of regular limits, which themselves drop by a third that same day. Pro users get a one-time $100 credit, then pay API rates. The reversal from Anthropic's original plan to pull Fable from subscriptions entirely likely comes down to competitive pressure from OpenAI's cheaper GPT-5.6 Sol.

Fine, electric mountain bikes don’t suck
Cheater, I'd grumble between huffs as yet another e-bike rider casually skittered past me on a steep ascent.

My attitude adjustment came a few weeks ago, the very first time I rode an Amflow PX […]

Claude make Fable 5 permanent
Claude make Fable 5 permanent An update from the @claudeai account on Twitter: Beginning July 20, Claude Fable 5 will be included in all Max and Team Premium plans, at 50% of limits. Pro and Team Standard users will continue to have access to Fable via usage credits, and will receive a one-time $100 credit. As I was saying last week , the competition from GPT-5.6 Sol (and maybe to a lesser extent Kimi 3 ) made untenable Anthropic's plan to remove Fable 5 from their subscription accounts and make it available exclusively through API pricing. Why pay $100 or $200/month for a subscription plan that doesn't include Anthropic's best model? Their original plan was driven by concerns over compute capacity. I wonder if they'll have to dial back their training efforts in order to make more GPUs available to help serve the model. A lot of people were losing sleep over trying to make the most of Fable 5 before subscriber access was withdrawn. It's nice not to have to worry about the Fablepocalypse any more.
