Anthropic's Fable 5 generates video games and complex maps from single prompts, researcher finds

Anthropic released Claude Fable 5, its first public Mythos model, and AI researcher Ethan Mollick put it through its paces. From his tests, the model generated fully functional video games—including Snake, Strata, and a poetry-inspired game—all from one initial prompt. It also created a detailed isochronic map showing travel times between locations, completing tasks that once required entire development teams.

Rivian R2 First Drive: The $45,000 Electric SUV Built to Challenge Tesla Model Y

Rivian has officially launched its R2, a mass-market electric SUV starting at $45,000 that CEO RJ Scaringe calls a make-or-break moment for the company. With AI-powered hands-free driving, competitive pricing against the Tesla Model Y, and production targets exceeding 50,000 units annually, the R2 represents Rivian's ambitious push beyond luxury EVs. But early buyers face a critical trade-off: Gen 2 hardware now or wait for advanced Gen 3 autonomy later.

Anthropic releases Claude Fable 5 with strict safeguards, sparking backlash from researchers

Anthropic unveiled Claude Fable 5, its first publicly available Mythos-class AI model, with unprecedented safety restrictions on cybersecurity, biology, and chemistry topics. The model automatically routes sensitive queries to an older version, Claude Opus 4.8. While Anthropic says the guardrails prevent malicious use, cybersecurity researchers complain the restrictions are overly broad, blocking even routine code reviews and security work.
