I've built a tool for AI agents to shop for you, you approve every payment. It's early days but a proof of concept of agentic commerce - CLI, Claude Code plugin (/buy) it's a group of Ruby gems that surfaces MCP + UCP...

🚨900+ tks decode on Tensorfold with a 5090 and Qwen3.8 27b nvfp4 🥹
Replying to @ashxhart
@ashxhart I've been playing with #Tensorfold and i wanted to replicate your experiment. Mate I'm blown away. Peak on Qwen 27b NVFP4 900+ TK/s and 661 aggregate. I feel like i can push it more.

This is what I live for! I find an unlock and someone else pushes it further 💪🏻🚀 Open source rules
🚨 I'VE DONE IT!! does anyone want 1600tps on a single 5090 running Qwen 3.8 27b?! oh and i saw someone else was posting about 700tps as a big milestone recently? interesting.😁

5 Palestinians were caught hiding inside a double-wall compartment of a vehicle while attempting to infiltrate Israel. The driver was arrested along with them. This is how terror attacks are prevented before they happen.

🚨 THIS IS NOT A VIDEO MODEL 🚨 This is fable 5.2 with blender and unreal. I told fable to create me some game assets but to really focus on the environment. I went to sleep and woke up to this: I am speechless.

Again, Fable 5.2 is insanely good at 3D modelling: here, it made its own take of that Lord of the Rings scene. I let the model build its own engine for the water physics, simulating the river as a shallow-water sheet, then running its own 3D particle simulation (FLIP) at 6cm resolution to make the breaking wave On the horses: anyone who tried to draw a galloping horse knows how hard it is: I gave the model an open static 3D model, then gave it a classic chronophotography of a gallop to build the rigging and animation from. I had to correct a few things over a few days of iterating + waiting renderings, but it did well!

During pre-release testing, Claude Fable 5.2 and Claude Mythos 5.2 worked on ambitious projects in many different fields. Here are a few. From a one-paragraph prompt, Fable 5.2 designed three working electronic devices, including this home voice assistant hub.

Again, today has been a very good day for Baby David Yehuda Leib ben Devorah Rut. The worst seems far behind at this point, BH, and now is the road for recovery! He turned two weeks today, too. Thank you every for the prayers, and please continue doing good deeds in his merit!

TensorFold 1.2.6 is out. 🚀 The big one here is the prompt cache under multi-agent load. In the 16-agent Qwen3.8-27B + DFlash2 test, median follow-up time to first token dropped: • M3 Ultra: 546s → 15.9s • GB10: 105s → 25.8s Each agent started with a ~17k-token prompt. Same replies throughout that test. Also in this release: • Flash Next cold prompts finish 29 to 41% sooner on HIP, measured on the Radeon 8060S. • GLM-5.3-Flash single-stream code decoding is 32% faster on two GB10s at TP=2. • Opt-in DSpine-b16 drafting from Tencent for Qwen3.8-27B on CUDA. • An image-generation API for image-capable engines, local Unix sockets and tool-call fixes. One upgrade note: kept prompt states need a fresh prefill after updating. Massive thanks to everyone contributing code, testing on their hardware and reporting the things that need fixing. I really appreciate the time you all put into this. @andersjw_ @Bizuayeu @defilan @devopsfortunato @unigilby @jvr0x @teleogen And on GitHub: abm9111, AbrahamCete, akol1, BobClawblaw, chadhurley25075-png, davidtai, ElderOrb, jschmied, kotevcode, Mirrdhyn, mrv777, ppardus, robertung88 and volfco. @petruspennanen @volatilemarkts @plotarmordev @MiaAI_lab tensorfold.dev

We have a new HalachaBench champion. 🏆 Claude Fable 5.2 scores 85.8, the highest yet, beating its own predecessor Fable 5.1 (79.7) and every other model we've tested. Better on all five semicha papers. Even its worst attempt (79.8) beats 5.1's average.

What if we could manipulate UI at the speed of thought? Built this voice coffee ordering system with @typesafeai Jev. The drink and any updates show up while I’m still mid-sentence, ~200 ms from word to screen. Feels pretty magical!

Same model, same budget. 20 of 40 working results without a Workbench, 36 of 40 with one. @boardyai set me up with @Rockstox from Pompeii Labs and we went nearly an hour on harnesses and verification. Recording a longer one for the channel soon 😃🦾 workbenches.dev/benchmarks/p…

Fable 5.2 is now available in the Claude Platform and Claude Code. It’s up to 30% faster than Fable 5.1, and costs $8/$40 per 1M tokens, down from $10/$50.
Introducing Claude Fable 5.2 and Claude Mythos 5.2, designed to tackle the most daunting technical challenges. They’re capable collaborators on ambitious projects in many fields, and show improvements in areas like coding, reasoning, and vision.
