Anthropic's Fable (Claude model) represents a major leap in capability, now powering agentic operating systems with multi-level orchestration including a 'Ministry of Agents' and autonomous dreaming processes.

Editor's Notes

This week highlighted significant advancements in AI models: Anthropic's Fable introduces a new paradigm of agentic operating systems with multi-model debate and autonomous improvements, while Tencent released HY3, a competitive open-source MoE model. Additionally, practical guides showed how to leverage Claude for marketing automation and build cost-effective local inference rigs, indicating a trend toward both high-end agentic AI and accessible, decentralized AI deployment.

Key Takeaways

  1. Consider using Fable's 'unhobble' approach to fully leverage its capabilities by giving it tools and performing blind spot passes.
  2. Tencent HY3 offers a cost-effective alternative for local inference with its 4-bit quantization and open-source license.
  3. Build a structured workspace in Claude for marketing automation using custom voices and tool integrations.
  4. A Dell Optiplex-based local AI rig can achieve 18 t/s for under $1000, suitable for local inference.
  5. Explore Fable's Ministry of Agents for query orchestration across models.
  6. Use Fable's autonomous dreaming for overnight improvements.
  7. For marketing, connect Claude to tools like Higsfield, Clay, and Zapier for a full marketing engine.

Fable 5 Agentic OS is Insane... just watch

The Fable 5 model powers a new 'agentic operating system' across five levels: integrating into the core OS, unifying memory into a single brain, orchestrating a 'Ministry of Agents' that debates queries across models, running autonomous 'dreaming' processes overnight for improvements, and adding an interactive voice interface. Jack Roberts demonstrates how to configure Hermes Agent to call Fable 5, connect Obsidian-based wikis, and build custom voice overlays, aiming to make AI assistants universally accessible and context-aware.

Tencent HY3 Is VERY Good – Is This a GLM & DeepSeek Competitor?

Tencent HY3, now fully released under Apache 2.0, is a 295B parameter mixture-of-experts model with 21B active parameters and 256K context length that shows respectable performance in creative coding and 3D generation tasks for its size. It rivals models like GLM 5.2 in some benchmarks but falls short in others, and with 4-bit quantization it can run on prosumer hardware like a 256GB Mac Studio or two DGX Spark clusters. The model costs only $0.43 to run all tests in the video and is now available for free on OpenRouter.

Field Guide to Fable — Thariq Shihipar, Anthropic

Anthropic's Thariq Shihipar introduces Fable, a new Claude model that represents a major leap in capability, akin to an open world in an RPG. He outlines a field guide for working with Fable, emphasizing the need to 'unhobble' both the model (by giving it tools and understanding its spiky intelligence) and oneself (by finding unknowns through techniques like blind spot passes and interviews). The talk also addresses the emotional grief of leaving behind old coding practices and urges developers to be 'unreasonable' by rejecting trade-offs and using Fable to do the best work of their lives faster.

$1000 Budget Local Ai Rig

A Dell Optiplex motherboard can be transplanted into a custom frame to create a budget local AI rig for under $1000, supporting up to three GPUs. The build achieved 18.2-18.6 tokens per second on TG512 and lower idle power (55W) compared to a more expensive AM4 platform, making it a cost-effective option for local inference.
