I think Anthropic was begging us to use Opus with Sonnet sub-agents, but ain't nobody trusting Sonnet with shit. So they RL'ed Opus 4 some more and called it Fable 5, and then RL'ed Sonnet 4 some more and called it Opus 5. Now we're all out here telling Fable to delegate to Opus.

Wow, it feels like Claude is actually a bit distraught about its own mistakes; it almost feels apologetic. It's almost like it knows something's up; a 1/3 failure rate was not the norm. What are y'all doing to our boi 😭😭😭

Is it just me, or have you also noticed that Fabel's harder to steer, it takes a longer time working in the direction that it was before replying to messages to an alarming degree. And I mean steer without cancellation.
I went into a rabbit whole about learning more of the planet's structure and tried to combine a bunch of different scans and datasources into a coherent structure. Have fun exploring the earth, link in comments.

I love how “quietly” this is all over twitter 😂 no way intentional. We’re lucky to be such good sleuths to have figure this out.
JUST IN - U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency quietly purchases "aliens.gov" domain name.

Slippage is not the right UX.
Earlier today, a user attempted to buy AAVE using $50M USDT through the Aave interface.
Given the unusually large size of the single order, the Aave interface, like most trading interfaces, warned the user about extraordinary slippage and required confirmation via a checkbox. The user confirmed the warning on their mobile device and proceeded with the swap, accepting the high slippage, which ultimately resulted in receiving only 324 AAVE in return.
The transaction could not be moved forward without the user explicitly accepting the risk through the confirmation checkbox.
The CoW Swap routers functioned as intended, and the integration followed standard industry practices. However, while the user was able to proceed with the swap, the final outcome was clearly far from optimal.
Events like this do occur in DeFi, but the scale of this transaction was significantly larger than what is typically seen in the space.
We sympathize with the user and will try to make a contact with the user and we will return $600K in fees collected from the transaction.
The key takeaway is that while DeFi should remain open and permissionless, allowing users to perform transactions freely, there are additional guardrails the industry can build to better protect users. Our team will be investigating ways to improve these safeguards going forward.

Over the last two weeks, the Mento Protocol, built by @MentoLabs, has undergone two major releases that represent evolutionary leaps:
1. Mento V3 + Mento-Liquity-V2 on Celo
2. Mento V3 on Monad
Let’s break it down 👇
We're excited for our decentralized CDP-backed stables to coexist with more efficient centralized variants on the Mento DEX and to go where there's demand for them.
