This is the best way to use Claude Fable in Claude Code without immediately hitting your limits. 1. Model set to Fable 5 2. Reasoning on Max 3. Instruct Claude to run a dynamic workflow where: 3a. Fable is the orchestrator 3b. Opus does the reasoning heavy phases Fable is so overpowered that you don't need its intelligence for every step. Let it orchestrate Opus or even Sonnet.

Grok 4.5 is a "Wow!" moment. 🤯 > Opus 4.8 & GPT-5.5 level on benchmarks > Costs less than Sonnet 5 Is that real? Hard to believe. Added Grok 4.5 as an implementer agent in fable-advisor. It replaces Sonnet 5. Use Fable as the orchestrator and a combo of: 1. Grok 4.5 2. Opus 4.8 3. GPT-5.5 As implementer agents. Uses the Grok Build CLI so if you log in with an X premium account you don't have to pay API fees.

This is one of the coolest open-source AI agent projects I've seen in a while: 'Understand Anything' It's a plugin for Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode etc. that analyzes your codebase and turns it into a knowledge base that you can interact with. It explains the codebase to you, rather than showing you the structure. It seems like it's designed for code but I opened my Obsidian vault of podcast highlights in Claude Code, then ran /understand. The result is a knowledge graph that I can search of highlights from 888 podcast episodes and 144K lines of markdown text.

Claude Fable 5 is best used as an orchestrator that does the heavy reasoning and delegates token intensive but simpler tasks to cheaper models. 'fable-advisor' is your free and open-source plugin that does exactly that. New in fable-advisor: > A directive to Fable to minimize its own token usage (works surprisingly well) > GPT-5.5 as an implementer sub-agent via the Codex CLI (uses your ChatGPT sub so you don't pay extra) How to use it: 1. claude plugin marketplace add DannyMac180/fable-advisor && claude plugin install fable-advisor 2. /model fable

If you do nothing else today, do yourself this one huge favor: turn on the Codex Chrome extension. It's surprisingly fast, but the speed is not the point. The point is, if you're a knowledge worker, you can have Codex perform routine browser tasks for you. It frees you to do higher value work. I've used it every day at work. There's no reason a human should have to spend their time manually manipulating a browser for routine tasks. Your job is to be a human being and create. Let Codex be the computer.

A GPT-5.4 rumor was that the model can persist state. Jeff Dean mentioned this on his Latent.Space appearance, so clearly something the AI Labs are thinking about. I'd bet there's a good chance they've discovered how to effectively integrate State-Space Models with Transformers at scale. SSMs are designed to carry a hidden state forward with every computational step, and scale linearly rather than quadratically like Transformers. Also backs up the rumor that GPT-5.4 will have a 2 million token context window. Persistent state would essentially mean that AI models go from being Guy Pearce's character in "Memento" to Dustin Hoffman's character in "Rain Man" overnight. It would give AI models true long-term memory. It would be a massive breakthrough for real.

Claude Code Artifacts are out of control amazing. Make changes in your session, and those changes are reflected in the artifact instantly. For *everyone* on your team who has the artifact. This is the first real multi-player agentic engineering workflow. Only available for Enterprise and Teams plans at the moment, but coming to Max and Pro soon I'm sure.

this is getting weird 🤯 used Operator to access Google AI Studio used Gemini 2.0 to create instructions to build a website instructed Operator to use the instructions to create a portfolio website on replit THIS IS NOT A TOOL TO BOOK FLIGHTS!!! 🚨 THIS IS AN INTELLIGENT AGENT THAT CAN DO COGNITIVE WORK FOR HUMANS IN THE INFORMATION LAYER OF HUMANITY THAT WE CALL THE WEB.

holy moly @windsurf from Codeium is the best AI coding agent experience i've had 💨 🏄♂️ I scaffolded an entire Next.js app, including frontend and backend - db, auth, frontend framework etc. by simply talking to "Cascade" their AI coding agent they've figured something out something with the idea of - "Flows": "AI flows ensure that the AI always understands the context of your work, adapting instantly as you transition between tasks, so it can assist without needing to be brought up to speed or interrupt your focus." it's the first time working with an AI that I feel it actually understands what I'm trying to do and is acting with true agency it also stops to consult me when needed if anything is unclear it's a beautiful experience, so well done the best part is that it's free to try for the next few weeks for any developer

🔥 🤖 🕵️♂️ INTRODUCING: Meta Agent 💥 this is by far the most exciting thing I've created using AI!!! >>> made using Manus and @windsurf 🔑 Meta Agent is an AI agent that uses the OpenAI Agents SDK to GENERATE NEW AGENTS you simply tell Meta Agent in natural language the agent you want... 🤯 and Meta Agent generates it for you fully open --> link to GitHub and example walkthrough below ⬇️

Continual Learning in 2026. And AGI with it? In July, Dario said he believes Continual Learning will turn out to be not as difficult as it seems. Sholto Douglas, Anthropic and former Deepmind researcher, predicted Continual Learning gets solved in a satisfying way in 2026. Sholto said that last week. Considering how capable AI models have become in 2025, it is unwise to dismiss this as fundraising or hype. It is much wiser to assume AGI is coming. That it will change the world. And that you can benefit from it... ...than it is to assume the opposite. "Not enough people are ready for AI to not be a bubble." - roon Choose wisely my friends.

🔥 🤯 🎥 Damn the ability to use o1 BEAST mode with Cursor is AMAZING sad thing is I think we could have been doing this for the last week??? the Cursor app connection has been there for a few weeks now use this workflow: 1. in ChatGPT connect to Cursor and open the relevant file (ChatGPT can only see the open file, not the whole project for now, sadly) 2. state what you want to implement and ask o1 Pro for the *diff* only, in full 3. take the diff that o1 Pro provides and copy it into Cursor composer agent - ask for the diff to be implemented then you have the requested change. ime been working first try for most things really incredible, we're getting close to allowing people to build whatever's in their imagination with a little knowledge and the ability to communicate it

🔥 💻 🎥 How to provide o1 Pro with your FULL CODEBASE through the ChatGPT Cursor connection yesterday I recorded a video connecting o1 Pro to Cursor through the ChatGPT Desktop app more than one person commented on how limiting it is for o1 Pro to only have access to a single open file in Cursor here's a walkthrough of how you can provide o1 Pro with your FULL CODEBASE as context instead of just a single file: 1. Write a Python function that concatenates full codebase into a single snapshot in a .txt file (link in comment) 2. Open that "codebase_snapshot.txt" in a separate Cursor pane 3. Go to the ChatGPT app and ask it what context it has access to through Cursor - should say it has two files with one of them being the codebase snapshot and boom there ya go. o1 Pro has access to everything in your codebase full walkthrough here 👇
