Everyday AI Podcast – An AI and ChatGPT Podcast - Ep 811: Fable 5 and Sonnet 5 Released, OpenClaw on Your iPhone, NotebookLM's New Video Format and 7 More AI Features You Need Now

Starting point is 00:00:00 This is the Everyday AI Show, the Everyday Podcast where we simplify AI and bring its power to your fingertips. Listen daily for practical advice to boost your career, business, and everyday life. What a wild few days in AI. I mean, we got not only one, but two new AI models from Anthropic, although one was technically older and it's going to be pretty much gone in like 100 hours, but who's counting anyways. So Fable 5 and Sonnet 5 should be on your testing list this holiday weekend. Oh, and you remember that whole open claw thing that was the most popular open source software ever? Well, they had one quiet update this week that makes it probably like five times more useful than before. And do we finally have high quality educational brain rot videos?

Starting point is 00:00:55 Is that a thing? A lot happening in AI this week. that's why we have our Friday features. Well, this time coming to you on Thursday because we have the extended holiday weekend in the U.S. So everyday AI will be taking a break on Friday, but we'll be back on Monday. But long story short is we have our Friday features here on Thursday. So on today's show, here's what you're going to learn.

Starting point is 00:01:22 You're going to know why Anthropics' most important update this week might not actually be Fable 5. You're going to know how your iPhone can. now control unlimited AI models with multiple big releases. And you'll know the new AI video doom scrolling format that will actually help you learn things and make you smarter. Yay, brain rot that we can all actually enjoy. All right. Let's get into it. Welcome to Everyday AI. If you're new here, my name's Jordan Wilson and we do this every day. It's your unedited, unscripted, live stream podcasts and free daily newsletter helping everyday business leaders like you and me,

Starting point is 00:01:56 not just keep up with all this AI craziness, but I tell you, what matters, what doesn't, and you use that information, like you're the smartest person in AI because that's what you are if you listen and read every single day. So make sure if you haven't already, please subscribe to the show on Apple Podcasts or on Spotify and sign up for the free daily newsletter at your EverydayAI.com. Each day, we recap the highlights from today's episode as well as all of the other AI news and developments you need to know to stay ahead. All right. So like I said, just FYI, normally this is our Friday AI features. where I tell you, here's AI you can actually use today because so much of everything else

Starting point is 00:02:36 that's happening in the AI world, it's, you know, drama and the stock market and jobs and rumors. So on Fridays, I say, nope, here's the things you can actually go use this minute. So, yeah, normally Fridays, but Thursdays, you get it. All right, but let's get straight to it. And we'll start with Anthropics Sonnet 5. So this is Anthropics. its most agentic sonnet model yet, which was released this week. And according to benchmarks, it performs pretty close to Opus 4.8 at a lower cost. So it's about on some benchmarks, it's about 63-ish percent versus, you know, Opus 69 percent. So, you know, pretty high compared to Opus in terms of benchmarks. So some, it's even ahead.

Starting point is 00:03:29 of opus. So you could kind of think of this as like a maybe a sonnet 4.8, but it's sonnet 5. Kind of confusing because now we have multiple tiers of models from Anthropic all on different levels because you still have poor haiku, this fastest but least intelligent model that's on 4.5. And then you have opus, which used to be the most powerful, but now it's second in line on 4.8. And then you have what used to be the middle model, which is now the second in Sonnet on five. And then you have Fable 5. So in order, yeah, if you're confused, all these new naming systems, right? We have all the new stuff from Open AI.

Starting point is 00:04:11 You have Seoul, Tara, Luna. All right. So here, we're going to go in order. I would to tell you the models. So Anthropic from the least powerful to the most powerful. We have Haiku 4.5. Then we have Sonet 5. Then we have Opus 4.8.

Starting point is 00:04:28 then we technically have Fable 5 slash Mythos 5, kind of the same models, one without guard rails, one with. So, all right. So let's talk about what makes Sonnet 5 good. So one million context,

Starting point is 00:04:42 right? That kind of seems to be the norm now. And that includes 128,000 tokens on the output. It has adaptive thinking on by default and a new tokenizer built in. So this is available for everyone. And when I say everyone, even if you're on the free plan, which is good. So, you know, a lot of times on a free plan,

Starting point is 00:05:02 you're getting a less powerful model. And it's one of the most common misconceptions in AI, right? I've literally, I don't see it as much in 2026. But last year, I would still see like literally Fortune 500 level enterprise executives, leading AI strategy. And they would log into a free, you know, chat, GPT or a free Gemini or a free anthropic account. and they would be testing things that way,

Starting point is 00:05:29 which is the worst thing to do, by the way. But it's good now that Anthraffic is upping their default free model to something on the five tier. It is a really good model. I've actually really enjoyed using Sonnet 5 more so than Opus and maybe even Fable. We'll get to that here in a little bit. So here's why it's useful.

Starting point is 00:05:50 Well, you have Opus-level agentic performance at Sonnet pricing. So the pricing, if you are paying on the API, side. There's kind of this, you know, discount pricing for a couple of weeks. So it's $2 per million in $10 per million out. Then it goes up to $3 and $15. So if you are paying the bill, so to speak, right? So if you're not on subscription, if your company is using, you know, Anthropics models on the API side, Saundit might actually be a good like Delegator model. Because with how freaking expensive the mythos tier models are with Mythos 5 and Fable 5, you can't be using those things for everything, right? I'm even having to, you know, shift my own usage just

Starting point is 00:06:39 on the subscription plan because you can't run, you know, Fable 5 for everything. Yes, it's out. It's only a limited time, but, you know, you can't. So you do have to make smart decisions, whether you're on a subscription using Anthropic or you're on the API side. And I really liked SONET so far. So it's cheaper than, you know, Opus 48 with similar-ish, you know, similar-ish performance. So I would slot it just below Opus 4.8, GPD-5, Gemini 3-1, Gemini-35 Flash. So it's kind of that tier below. But it's lower, you know, Anthropics says lower sycicency, lower hallucination rates, all those good things. So who's going to find this valuable? I mean, if you want a daily driver model you can afford to use in Anthropic. It is going to be much better. You know,

Starting point is 00:07:28 if you are on a $20 plan, a team plan, a $200 max plan that I'm on, you can't really use the big model much, right, the Fable of 5. And it's going to be gone in a couple of days. Anyways, so this is a great, I think, everyday driver. And it's probably even if you are comfortable using Opus 4.8, I'm sure we'll see an Opus 5 in the next, you know, I don't know, three to six weeks, something like that, depending on if it gets held up by the U.S. government. But it might just be a good standard practice moving forward for inthropic bottles to get used to using Sonet, right? I think for the majority of knowledge workers out there,

Starting point is 00:08:07 I'm not talking about software developers, you know, people running extremely heavy, agenic workloads. But for everyday usage, this Sonnet 5, I think, could become a de facto driver. I do think in the same way how, you know, we are unfortunately in this new era of AI where large language models are no longer democratized, right? Not everyone in the world is going to have pretty much unlimited use of the best models like we've had up until, you know, June 20, 25. So, you know, we might have to also start shifting our usage accordingly. That's why I think SOTIF is a great model. So who's going to find a valuable?

Starting point is 00:08:45 So yeah, Definops teams running agents at scale because it is good for a lot of. those lower, lower hanging fruit agentic tasks, long running tasks. And then also, like I said, cost conscious API buyers. So if you want that more opus class performance, but without the opus pricing, there you go. Or if you didn't win the lottery and can't afford Fable, then, you know, Sonnet is going to be your go-to. AI moves too fast to follow, but you're expected to keep up.

Starting point is 00:09:18 Otherwise, your career or company might lag behind while AI native competitors, leap ahead. But you don't have 10 hours a day to understand it all. That's what I do for you. But after 700 plus episodes of everyday AI, the most common questions I get is, where do I start? That's why we created the Start Here series, an ongoing podcast series of more than a dozen episodes you can listen to in order. It covers the AI basics for beginners and sharpens the skills of AI champions pushing their companies forward. In the ongoing series, we explain complex. trends in simple language that you can turn into action. There's three ways to jump in.

Starting point is 00:09:59 Number one, go scroll back to the first one in episode 691. Number two, tap the link in your show notes at any time for the start here series. Or you can just go to start here series.com, which also gives you free access to our inner circle community where you can connect with other business leaders doing the same. The start here series will slow down the pace of AI so you can get ahead. All right. Let's keep it going. Next.

Starting point is 00:10:29 Yeah. Brain rot that could actually be good for you. This isn't really brain rot. And FYI, I am not a fan of scrolling vertical videos. You know, when OBDI came out with their sore, I'm like, no, this is terrible. Please, you know, I don't want this. You know, I'm actually glad they killed it off. This one with NoBook L.M, this might be doom scrolling that I will actually start to do.

Starting point is 00:10:52 That's because Notebook L.M has a new. video format, it is, yes, vertical video 60 second and they're really good. All right. So this is a new studio output in notebook L.M, a 60 second vertical video generated from your uploaded sources with narrated explanations and animations. So this was just announced like a couple hours ago alongside the new and powered by the new Nano Banana 2 Light, which does power the visuals inside of this new 60-second vertical video format. So it is a shorter vertical sibling to Notebook LM's existing cinematic video overview.

Starting point is 00:11:37 So that's the big difference here. So you've inside of notebook LM with their video generations, they've always had the video generations, which are really, really good, by the way. But they upgraded using their, you know, VO or I guess now Omni, technology, you know, this cinematic level of video. So think, uh, the normal video overviews great, um, you know, but there's really not that cinematic feel. So this is the cinematic feel of the videos, but just short 60 second verticals. So obviously made for learning on the go. So I am someone, I am not like on any kind of vertical video social media. I don't do it. I refuse to.

Starting point is 00:12:19 That's why like when I'm looking at this, it's like I almost don't. want to, but I've wanted something like this for a very long time. So I might actually finally be a short form vertical video consumer. So who has access? Right now, if you are a paid user, you should have access. So they did already start the rollout. I think I got access to this on some of my paid accounts, but not all of my paid accounts on Gemini. So if you are a Gemini paid user, it should you either have it now or it should be. rolling out. So it is starting with users in English and then it is rolling out to others in the coming weeks. So mobile and non-English rollout status isn't confirmed yet. So why is it useful? Well,

Starting point is 00:13:08 it turns all your long source material inside of No Book LM into these really cinematic, fun, and engaging short 60 second videos. So No Book LM, I can cannot stop gushing about it, right? As much as I, as I love Codex, as much as I, you know, use Claude desktop and all these other programs, notebook LM is still one of my go-toes, right? One of my most used skills inside of Codex is having it make notebook LM generations for me. So I can just wake up, open the app on my phone. If I'm out touching grass, taking a walk, I have literally so many, you know, usually audio, audio overviews, but sometimes video overviews as well,

Starting point is 00:13:55 just bespoke with all the most pinpoint specific information I need to know for my day to learn different things. So it's great. So who's going to find this valuable? I think any obviously notebook online power user, if you're an educator, a student of life, if you're trying to learn something new, this is great.

Starting point is 00:14:13 But also, this is good content for social team. So if you're a marketer, I mean, these cinematic videos are amazing. I'm actually surprised when they were first announced they didn't like go more viral than they actually did. I think one of the reasons, you know, which is a rollout strategy I've never quite understood, is they've limited this to ultra subscribers when cinematic videos first rolled out.

Starting point is 00:14:38 So this is cool that the 60 second versions, if you are on a normal paid Gemini plan, you should have access to this. All right. Let's keep it going. Yeah. Now you have a new financial assistant in your pocket. So our next Friday feature on Thursday is the chat GPT finance app that has now rolled out to plus users. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:15:07 Speaking of that rollout strategy, same thing here. This is technically something that came out to pro users on the $200 a month plan a couple of weeks ago. I don't think we really covered it much because I tend to not cover things. if they're only on that, you know, pricey $200 tier, I try to stick to things that are just on the base paid plans because I think that's what the overwhelming majority of, you know, our listeners are on. So what is the chat GPT finance? So this is built into chat GBT and it's OpenAI's personal finance feature that connects

Starting point is 00:15:41 your bank and investment accounts via plaid. And then you can ask finance questions grounded in real account data. So this was originally launched, like I said, mid-May, but it was pro-only. But now it is available and live to anyone. If you are on that $20 a month plan, you've got it now in the U.S. So the original pro launch covered web and iOS. I'm not sure if Android is out. So yeah, make sure to check in the newsletter for that.

Starting point is 00:16:13 We'll let you know. So it is U.S. only like. I said and here's why I think it's useful. Well, you can just make your financial use of chat GPT way faster and way more personalized. A couple of things to keep in mind because I probably hear what a lot of people are saying, oh my gosh, I would never connect my financial data to any AI assistant, any AI account, right? So it's connected through Platt and Plaid is one of the most trusted, you know, names in finance around. Um, so. It's not like you're signing up for an unknown, you know, platform or bringing in, you know,

Starting point is 00:16:55 let's just say you have a couple of retirement accounts, a couple bank accounts, a couple of credit cards. It's not like you're bringing in, you know, five, six, seven, 12 separate entities into chat, GBT, and giving them all different permissions and you have to monitor them all. It's not like that. It just connects through plat. So it's already coming in through a trusted name. You know, according to OpenAI, there's, you know, data they just can't see, right? They can't see your full account numbers.

Starting point is 00:17:19 There is no right access. That's the big thing, right? So it's not going to make any changes. So it can only read the information. It doesn't know your full account access and it is all secure through plat. So here is what Open AI said about it. They said today we're releasing, and this is from, you know, the original release, but they said today we're releasing a preview of a new personal finance experience in

Starting point is 00:17:44 chat, GBT, to pro users. Now out to everyone. Now you can securely connect your financial accounts, see a dashboard of where your money is going, and ask chat chivity questions grounded in your financial context, all while staying in control of your data. So they say money touches nearly every part of life where we live, what decisions we make, how we care for our loved ones, what future we might imagine. But managing finances today often means piecing together accounts, apps, cards, loans, and spreadsheets just to know where things stand.

Starting point is 00:18:19 Then they say with your financial apps accounts connected, chat, Chb-T can combine that reasoning with your financial, with your real financial contacts, and what you've shared about your goals, lifestyle, and priorities, helping you spot patterns, understand tradeoffs, and plan for big decisions in a way that feels more personal and complete. So, yeah, whether you're trying to plan, you know, goals on your spending, travel, spend analysis, you're spending insight, scenario planning, investment risk, subscription reviews, whatever it is.

Starting point is 00:18:51 So anything that you do give chat, Shabit, access to inside of Plaid, it can pull all of that information in. So not only can you interact with all of your finances in natural language, which is a big cheat code in and of itself, right? Because a lot of these applications do not have, I mean, many of them do, but not all of them have reasoning AI, right? you might be able to pull a certain number and ask it, you know, what was my balance last month in this account, right?

Starting point is 00:19:20 But many of them do not have AI that can reason over all of this data. So not only that, the ability to have a powerful reasoning model like GPT 5.5, but also that it can marry all of your other contexts, right? So your memory inside of chat, GBT, and your chat history. So when you can throw those things, those three things together, a reasoning model, well, four things. you know, a reasoning model, you know, your bank accounts, your, you know, all your financial accounts, then your chat, history, memory. That's a huge unlock.

Starting point is 00:19:58 So who's going to find this valuable? Well, I mean, I think this is big consumer play, right? If you've ever been a user of like a mint.com, right? There's these popular, you know, personal finance apps, but like, let me just call it. out. A lot of them costs money. I think that Open AI is going to start winning and retaining a lot of consumer users just by replacing other subscriptions that people just used to pay for. As an example, I used to pay for Mint. And then it got to the point, I'm like, you know, why am I still paying for this? You know, and now it's like, okay, well, this is going to be included in my subscription anyways.

Starting point is 00:20:37 And it does bring in all of the other personal context that, you know, Chad GPT has. on me, which I'm going to love. All right. Our next one, this one might sound small, but I want you to think about what it unlocks, especially if you are a power Twitter user like me, right? This is where I get a lot of my, you know, AI information. I follow the discourse of what's happening, you know, online, you know, in the AI space, mainly on Twitter because that's where a lot of people are conversing about these things.

Starting point is 00:21:09 So, acts formerly known as Twitter, I still call it Twitter. launched their official MCP Model Contacts Protocol server, letting all different AI tools connect directly to the X API. So this is big. So this is live right now. So whether you want to go through Twitter, if you have a bazillion bookmarks like I do, now you do have to load money into the,

Starting point is 00:21:41 into the X account. So this isn't something that's free, but it looks extremely affordable and cheap. And I'm going to tell you the reason why I think that. So you do have to go through that step. So it's like, bummer, you know, you might spend a couple dollars a month if you're a heavy user.

Starting point is 00:21:59 So you do have to go through, sign up for the X developer portal, you know, go through all that hoops and all that. But then at that point, I mean, whether you're a clawed user cursor, you know, if you're one of the 10 people,

Starting point is 00:22:11 using Grockville, you know, codex, whatever, you know, anywhere that MCPs are supported, which is essentially everywhere, you can now scroll X and grab important information from there. So here is what was said in a tech crunch article on this. So it says this allows developers to save time spent on integration work to focus on whatever they're actually building. So yeah, obviously if you're trying to build something, this is helpful as well. So it says developers have long been able to search X, read posts, look up users, analyze conversations and trends, and do more using the platform's API. The hosted MCP doesn't add new capabilities on that front. It just makes them

Starting point is 00:22:55 easier to expose to AI applications. So by doing so, X can position itself as an information network filled with real-time data to retrieve and analyze rather than just a social hangout. So for me, this is big. So why is it useful? Well, it removes the work that developers used to have to do themselves because you used to have to build a custom MCP server, host it, wire it to the XAPI, all that stuff. Now you can set up an MCP server in like a minute, right? You can literally just give the URL, you know, once you go through and sign up for the developer, account and authorize it. You just give the URL to codex or, you know, Claudecode and it does it all for you. So if you're a developer, you know, you're going to find this valuable.

Starting point is 00:23:40 if you're building social listening tools, competitive monitoring, research tools, you know, security researchers, threat intelligence analysts, right? Essentially, if you spend time for your job on Twitter, right, following different conversations, what's happening in your industry, how are people reacting to certain things, and you are also a user of something like, you know, Claude on the desktop, codex, etc bring those two things together i do spend a lot of time on twitter every single day i'm bookmarking so many things so this is one i'm actually excited for because i'll spend way less time on twitter and i'm just going to have codex go through and do all those things for me uh so pretty exciting one there

Starting point is 00:24:26 speaking of things you can hand off to others well now open claw yes you can talk with your open clause without having to go on to discord or telegram or whatever it is. So yeah, now your OpenClaw is accessible on your phone. That's because OpenClaw, the open source personal AI agent project, launched its first official native mobile app for iOS and Android. So it is free on the Apple App Store and Google Play. You obviously, FYI, this is just a bridge.

Starting point is 00:25:05 This is a remote, right? So it's not like, you can skip the whole open claw setup, which can be a little cumbersome and it is a lot of maintenance to keep it up and working. I barely use open claw anymore because in my opinion, codex can do just about everything. I even text my codex. So anyways,

Starting point is 00:25:26 but if you are a heavy open claw user, whether it's personally or your organization, I think this is a great new feature. So it is like I said, It's not a standalone. It's just a companion node that pairs with your posted open claw gateway, wherever that is. Right.

Starting point is 00:25:44 So most people are using an actual dedicated machine or if you're using a cloud server, whatever it is. And pairing is pretty easy. It's just a QR code. And then you set it up once and then the gateway is running. So this is great because then you can monitor your open claw activities without having to sit down in front of a computer or, you know, I think what a lot of people were doing is they would just download like, you know,

Starting point is 00:26:07 Discord and then hook it up through Discord or all these other, you know, third party messaging platforms. So now you don't have to do this anymore. And you have a dedicated app that can do that for you. So who's going to find this valuable? Well, like I said, if you're already an open claw user or if you were on the open claw fence and one of the biggest setbacks is, well, you wanted a way to be able to, you know, check in on something locally because that's the reality, right?

Starting point is 00:26:34 Open claw is great. And the fact that you can say, oh, I have a, you know, computer running somewhere 24-7, right? Like I do a lot of my work in my home office, but I have an actual office in Chicago as well. And that's where I had my open clock. And if I'm being honest, I'm like, well, if I'm only in the office once or twice a week, it's like, do I really want to be, you know, going in and, you know, using Discord, which I don't really use any more, right? Since Mid Journey no longer required it like a year or so ago, I don't really use Discord.

Starting point is 00:27:03 So it's like, do I want to be using another app just to be messaging? You know, it's another communication channel that I just didn't want to take on. So maybe this might, you know, get me to, you know, reengage my open claw. Probably not because I'm plenty happy right now with Codex and with Claude Code. But if this is something that you want to see more coverage on, let me know in the comments. And maybe we'll do something a little more dedicated. And the thing that a lot of people are wondering is like, how the heck did this? make it onto the Apple App Store because they are extremely strict on allowing anything agentic.

Starting point is 00:27:39 But the reason why is because, well, none of this is actually stored on your iPhone. The iPhone is just a bridge and all of the data lives on your actual machine. So yeah, no, according to OpenClaw and a lot of the reporting, you know, none of the data actually lives on your phone. So it is literally just a bridge or remote control to see what's going on. and to be able to communicate with your claws in real time. All right, two more and we'll make these ones quick, even though they're bigger ones.

Starting point is 00:28:11 All right. Next, we have Cursor released an iOS app. Yeah, like I said, the phones were getting all the love this week. So here's what's new. Cursor launched its first native iPhone and iPad app in public beta, and it is available now. So this lets developers launch and monitor AI coding agents

Starting point is 00:28:32 from their phone, as well as their new popular always on cloud agents or just remote control of agents already running on their new computer. So who has access? Well, it's live now. It's in public beta on the app store. And it is gated right now, obviously, to paid cursor plan. So you have to have a paid cursor plan for this to work. So why is it useful? Well, you can kick off or check agent work without keeping your laptop open. Right. So no more walking around with your laptop half a jar like I used to do back in February with Codex. So now you can just have it all running from your phone. So this uses the iOS live activities and push notifications.

Starting point is 00:29:16 So you're pulled back in when you want to when an agent finish hits a blocker or if it has a PR ready. It does also support voice input, screenshot annotation, as well as full diff review and PR merge from your phone. So here's why I think is going to find it useful and valuable. I think software engineers, obviously teams who are already using cursor, if you're an on-call person who needs to triage or fix issues away from your primary machine, if you want to go outside and touch grass, right, or teams wanting a lightweight way to review and merge AI generated PRs without being at the desk. So here is what cursor says.

Starting point is 00:29:55 Cursor in their blog post said, cursor is now available as a native iOS app in public beta. so you can build from anywhere until now developers have worked around the limits of their local machines, keeping laptops half open and caffeinated everywhere they go. Yeah, that one's fun because there's obviously a popular program called caffeine that keeps your laptop awake, even when it's closed. That's a joke there. With cursor for iOS, you can launch always on agents in the cloud or control agents

Starting point is 00:30:24 running on your computer from your phone. Kick them off when ideas strike. get notified when work is ready for review and merge PRs on the go. Whether your agents are running on your machine or in the cloud, you can move work forward from wherever you are. So this really thrust cursor, I think, into serious consideration in the super app race, right? I think we're going to be talking about the super apps a lot more come like September. We should be hearing from Open AI any day on their super app, you know, Microsoft, you

Starting point is 00:30:59 you know, alluded to their super app at the build conference in San Francisco a few weeks ago. So yes, cursor, I think, between the space XXAI acquisition. So the fact that they essentially have like unlimited compute now, number one, the fact that their last model they made Composer 2.5 was actually really good and cost efficient. So you throw in those two things with now, I think they have a top two harness next codex. So the combination of a very good desktop app and now maybe the best iOS control pane, right? Inside of Chad GPT has a great remote control for codex, but I think the cursor might be a little bit ahead, mainly because you can start, you know, new threads, then pick them up on your

Starting point is 00:31:49 computer, start new cloud agents. So there are a couple of dead. A couple of small advantages right now. I would say that cursor has over codex slash chat chbt when it comes to managing your local machine from your phone. All right. And then last but not least, the technically the biggest story of, I don't know, the last month or so. Well, Anthropics Fable 5 is back. Yay, right? Probably not. All right.

Starting point is 00:32:21 So I would say the overwhelming majority of our listener. are people who are on subscriptions. So don't get too excited on this because it's going to be gone in like 100 hours. And then you're going to have to pay for it out of pocket. But we've covered Fable 5 plenty. But let me just give you the update. And well, you can use it now. And you absolutely should because it is going to be gone in about five days.

Starting point is 00:32:50 So you should be using your entire week limits immediately to see if this is something that you are going to pay those actual bills for. So here is the newest update. So it said as of today, June 30th, the export controls on Fable 5 in Mythos 5 have been listed. Fable 5 will be available starting tomorrow. So this was from yesterday's, no, yeah, yesterday's blog post.

Starting point is 00:33:18 So available, no, two days ago. It said Fable 5 will be available starting Wednesday, July 1st to users globally. on the Claude platform, Claude. Claude, Claude, and Claude Co-Work. And then it says, for Pro, Max, Team, and Select Enterprise plans, Fable 5 will be included for up to 50% of weekly usage limits through July 7th, after which it will be available via usage credits. All right.

Starting point is 00:33:48 And, yeah, so essentially here, let me just tell you what happened. Right. there's all this drama that's been going on for the last two and a half weeks. You know, Anthropic has been hyping, you know, mythos and the project, Glasswing project since April saying it was a bioweapon, you know, essentially begging the federal government to, you know, control AI. They said we need to pause AI. So they got what they wanted, you know, and now frontier models are going through a delayed process

Starting point is 00:34:21 to essentially get approved from the government. right. Open AI had a limited rollout of their GVT5.6 new models that are only available to trusted partners right now. So that's what started with Mythos and Fable 5. So Fable 5 is essentially Mythos 5 with added guardrails. So we got it for three days. It was pulled for two weeks. Now it's back. But for the majority of our listeners, if you're on a clawed subscription plan, you're only going to have it for about five days. So that's a big bummer. And there's essentially this thing called classifiers. And this is something that they put in guardrails to satisfy some of the U.S.

Starting point is 00:35:01 government's requests that this wouldn't be used in nefarious ways, right? But they are extremely overbearing, right? Anthropic even said in their post to their credit that these are going to take a bunch of prompts to fable and they're going to say, Nope, you can't do it and they're going to send it to Opus 4.8. So so far, it seems like a lot of people are sour on Fable 5. I'll say just use it for what you can, use it while it's there, and see if it's going to be worth the price of admission. All right. So for just comparison here, let me just throw a number.

Starting point is 00:35:41 So yes, I'm a heavy-ish AI user, right? So inside of codex, I use about two and a half billion tokens. week. So we'll say that's about 10 billion tokens a month. Okay. And there's people who use way more, right? Because I'm not a coder. Yes, I'm building projects. I have automations and loops and all that good stuff. Right. But there's plenty of people in your organization that you're listening to who go through way more than 10 billion tokens. So if I'm paying for that via Fable 5, right, I'm paying $200 a month to do my, you know, roughly 10 billion tokens. like I said, give or take on codex GPD 5.5 high.

Starting point is 00:36:28 If I'm paying for that on Fable, because in five days, that's the only way you can use it. That's roughly depending on the blend of, you know, input output. It's about $200,000 a month. Are people going to pay that? Yes. Is everyone going to pay that? Probably not. So like I said, I think you're going to have to get used to.

Starting point is 00:36:51 the new Sonnet 5 model, which I really like. I'm sure that we'll see an Opus 5 model pretty soon, but go play with Opus, you know, for large organizations, you know, that have monopoly money. Maybe Fable 5 is something you'll be able to use in the long run, but I think for most people, go have fun with it. You got five days, see what happens. All right.

Starting point is 00:37:13 So that is a wrap on our AI features on Friday on Thursday. I hope this one was helpful. as a quick rundown. Here's what it is. Claude Sonnet 5 is out. It's good. I like it. No Book LM short video overviews,

Starting point is 00:37:31 cinematic brain rot that helps you learn. Not actually brain rot. It's really good. Then you have the new chat DVD finance for all plus users. You have the X slash Twitter hosted MCP server. So essentially I would have my agents doing computer use for that. which took way too long and a lot of tokens. So maybe my token count's going to go down.

Starting point is 00:37:56 Then we had OpenClaw coming out with apps for iOS and Android, cursor coming out with their iOS app. And then last but not least, Claude Fable 5 is back, but not for long.
