Fable 5 Was Nice While It Lasted
The government made Anthropic pull Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for everyone, over a jailbreak that amounts to asking a model to fix bugs in code. The facts, and why it hit me personally.

Five users couldn't reliably hear callers on their softphones, and a day and a half of conventional troubleshooting pinned it to their PCs without explaining it. I pointed Claude Code at a broken machine and a working one. Fifteen minutes later it had the root cause, the fix, and two bonus findings.
Radiology Partners' technology arm launched Mosaic Reporting โ AI that assembles the report in real time as the radiologist reads โ and switched it on for thousands of its own radiologists on day one. The product is incremental; the position it ships from is not.
A researcher dropped a seventh Windows zero-day hours after Patch Tuesday: RoguePlanet spawns a SYSTEM shell on fully-patched Windows 10 and 11, with no CVE and no fix. The exploit is narrower than it sounds โ but the disclosure war that produced it is the part worth watching.
SpaceX priced its IPO at $135 a share Thursday, a roughly $1.77 trillion valuation and the largest stock-market debut in history. It trades Friday as SPCX โ the first of the season's three mega-offerings to actually cross the line. The public S-1 reveals a lopsided business: one profitable utility funding a pile of expensive ambitions.
Harrison.ai's Rad 1.5 is the only AI model to pass the FRCR 2B Short Case, the exam standard that certifies UK radiologists โ and anyone can try it today, free, no waitlist. What it actually does, what the benchmark fine print says, and how far away US clinical use really is.
Two days into the Fable 5 window, a binary export of blank mammography templates tripped Anthropic's new safety classifiers โ cybersecurity and biology at once. Then writing this post tripped them again. Both times, the quiet handoff to Opus 4.8 worked exactly as advertised.
The largest Patch Tuesday ever shipped: roughly 200 vulnerabilities, 33 Critical, three publicly disclosed zero-days, and a CVSS 9.8 in Nuance PowerScribe that radiology shops should not sit on. The Secure Boot certificate deadline is 17 days out โ this is the last Patch Tuesday before it.
The new Siri AI leans on a custom Google-built model running on Nvidia hardware in Google's cloud โ and Apple's press release never says the word Google. What's verifiable, what's contractual, and what IT shops should ask.
Anthropic's most powerful public model matches or beats Opus across the board โ then quietly hands its riskiest queries back to Opus to keep them safe.
