Anthropic's Fable 5 Is Mythos for Plebes
Show notes
This week, Jason Howell and Jeff Jarvis dig into Apple's biggest AI reveal yet: the company rebuilt Apple Intelligence on top of Google Gemini, Siri AI finally works according to early reviewers, and the EU is blocked from getting any of it. Anthropic released Fable 5, the first publicly available model in its Mythos frontier tier, safety-locked and twice the price of Opus. OpenAI filed its S-1 and is planning a super app.
Also in this episode: A Trump administration equity stake in OpenAI, Perplexity targeting a 2028 IPO, Google paying SpaceX $920 million a month for compute, AI agents now accounting for more web traffic than humans, and the debate over AI degrees. New episodes every Wednesday at aiinside.show.
