Anthropic announces Claude Fable 5.1 and Mythos 5.1

#1 📝 Anthropic News

Introducing Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1 - Anthropic released Claude Fable 5.1 (generally available) and Claude Mythos 5.1 (the same underlying model with stricter, trust‑access safeguards for cybersecurity and life‑sciences), with Fable 5.1 priced about 25% lower than Fable 5 for typical token‑billed workloads and up to ~45% lower for highly agentic work. They’re rolling out Enterprise Frontier Safeguards to give customers customer‑controlled cloud storage and zero data retention (phased this fall, with zero‑retention available to eligible customers now), claim safeguards that cut cybersecurity false positives by 60%, and report benchmark gains such as 52.6% on Terminal‑Bench‑Science (vs 24.7% for Fable 5) and 73.4% on CursorBench 3.2.0.

Infinite AI Streaming Will Change Content Forever (Minimax FastH3)

All About AI

An infinite interactive Twitch video stream was built with Infinite Live Streams, Minimax FastH3, OpenAI Luna, FFmpeg, and two NVIDIA B200 GPUs on Runpod, generating 15-second text-to-video clips in roughly 10–13 seconds.

  • The pipeline uses OpenAI Luna to autonomously continue a story when Twitch chat is inactive; chat messages beginning with !prompt take priority and are sent to the FastH3 model as the next scene suggestion.
  • Two NVIDIA B200 GPUs on Runpod loaded approximately 132 GB of model data; the stated rental cost was about $13.50–$14 per hour, with a displayed balance of $26 for 1 hour and 54 minutes of runtime.
  • The stream was configured at 480p; the speaker stated that 720p would require eight B200 GPUs and cost about $100–$115 per hour, making 24/7 operation expensive.

The mystery is solved... and the answer is 40x cheaper than Claude

Fireship

Zhipu unmasked the anonymous OpenRouter model AUX Alpha as GLM 5.3 Flash, a 320-billion-parameter natively multimodal mixture-of-experts model priced at $0.15 per million input tokens and $0.50 per million output tokens.

  • AUX Alpha served 42 trillion tokens during its first six days on OpenRouter, doubled Deep Seek’s usage, and accounted for nearly one-third of OpenRouter’s weekly traffic at its peak.
  • On August 26th, Zhipu identified AUX Alpha as GLM 5.3 Flash and released its MIT-licensed weights on Hugging Face; the stealth deployment ran on 100,000 Chinese-made chips and supports a 1-million-token context window plus video input.
  • GLM 5.3 Flash modernized the 2016 Angular JS Horse 2 app into HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript, used FFmpeg to split a horse video into frames, analyzed the frames, and generated a relevant title, description, and comments.

Madhu Guru argued that PMs should understand the model frontier for their specific products and use cases by assessing each model size’s strengths, failures, and workarounds. He said anticipating capabilities 2–3 months ahead and using those trajectories to shape roadmaps is now a core part of the PM role.

Madhu Guru said every company should pursue self-improving products, outlining 5 core pieces: defined metrics, strategy and roadmap, a decision knowledge base, connections to internal systems, and a product-development harness. Depending on product complexity, teams may be able to prototype with simpler versions and existing software-engineering agents.
