Claude Fable 5 just dropped and I'm speechless...
351 segments
I cannot believe it, the biggest model
release of the entire year, maybe of all
time, happened today, just now. We are
about to find out if it lives up to the
hype, Claude Fable 5, aka Claude Mythos.
That's right, Anthropic has released
Claude Mythos 5. It is the safe version
of Claude Mythos, and as you can see
here, it not only wins every single AI
benchmark ever made, it dominates every
AI benchmark ever made. But are
benchmarks real? Is it as good as all
the benchmarks you see here? Cuz a lot
of time benchmarks are a little fake.
We're about to find out. For those who
don't remember, Claude Mythos was the
model that Anthropic announced a few
months ago, but they said, "Hey, you
normies, you can't use it, a little too
dangerous for you. You get your hands on
this, the entire world is ending." It is
available in all Claude platforms, so
you can use in Claude Code CLI, in the
desktop version, as well as in the chat
in Coda. I'm going to show you how to
set it up in a second, show you how to
get more out of it. We're about to go
through the keys of Claude Fable, so how
you treat it different than Opus. So
before we get into actually using the
model, here's how you need to think
differently about Claude Fable 5. Before
you asked yourself, is Claude doing the
work right? You tell Claude Code to do
something, you tell Claude to do
something, and then you go and you check
to see if it did the right thing. You
test it. Now it's different. This is a
subtle shift in mentality. Now you are
saying, is Claude doing the right work?
You can now be confident Claude is
building things the right way. It's not
building buggy code. Now you just need
to make sure it's doing the right work.
How do you do that? Well, through loops,
and I'm going to go through loops in a
second. This has been the talk of the
town for the past week. I'll show you
how to use loops using a few different
methods inside Claude Code in just a
second as well. This basically gives
Claude the ability to work autonomously
non-stop, right? For days and days and
days on end. We'll go through that very
shortly. So, here are the three tips
Anthropic gave when it came to using
Fable 5. Treat Claude like a thought
partner. This is quite literally super
intelligence. And what people were doing
before with Claude was they'd begin work
and they'd say, "Okay, Claude, do this
next. Do this next. Do this next." next.
Not anymore. Now you need to treat it as
an equal, as an equal collaborator on
what you're building. So, before you
build something, you need to go, "Hey,
what are your thoughts on this? How
would you change this? How would you do
it different? How would you approach
this? Would you do something completely
different?" You treat it as an equal
partner in what you're building. Two,
you give Claude goals. So, instead of
telling Claude what to do next, you just
give it a high-level goal and it will
find its way there. Typically, the way
we've been combined coding up till now
is you might have a goal 10 steps down
the path and you do each step with
Claude one by one by one by one. Not
anymore. You just give Claude the end
goal and it finds its way there. So, you
let it be more autonomous. And then
lastly, this is the last tip here
Anthropic was giving is just be more
ambitious. You want to now push the
limits of what you were doing before. If
you thought something was impossible to
do with AI before, go for it now. Be
more ambitious and I will show you how
to do that a little bit uh later in the
video as well. Okay, so let's get into
my recommendations on how to get the
most out of Claude Fable. I am doing
this inside of Claude code in the CLI.
I'm using a little app called Ghosty,
which is a nicer version of the terminal
to do this. You can feel free to
download that for free if you want. I'm
hearing from a lot of people Fable is
not showing up in the Claude desktop app
just yet. So, I'd recommend coming in
here. On top of that, I'm hearing from
some people Fable is not showing up
inside the model picker. So, make sure
to run this as well. {slash} model claw
{dash} fable {dash} five. Hit enter.
Even if it's not in your picker, even if
your claw hasn't updated yet, you can
run that and you will be on the new claw
fable five. I recommend going auto mode.
So, shift tab, go to auto mode. It's so
smart you don't need it to ask you for
permissions anymore. I know that makes a
lot of people upset when I'm like, "Why
are you telling people to do dangerous
things?" It's smart enough. Do auto
mode. It's going to work. It's not going
to do anything crazy. From an effort
perspective, if you do {slash} effort,
I'd recommend starting off on high. This
model absolutely torches tokens. It does
a tremendous amount of thinking. My
recommendation Opus was extra high.
This, I think you should go with high.
And then you can tune it up and down
based on the performance you're getting.
So, I have it on high, auto mode, fable
five. So, let's talk about how to get
the most out of fable five. What is the
best way to put it in these loops? These
loops everyone's talking about. This is
the strength of fable. It is so smart.
You don't need to give it little micro
steps. You give it a massive goal and it
attacks that massive goal. So, you can
follow along with me here. Let's do
this. What we're going to do is describe
what we want to build. But, we're not
going to build it just yet. What we're
going to do is use what I call advanced
plan mode first. This isn't just a
regular plan mode. This is an advanced
plan mode where I'm going to have claw
fable five ask me a bunch of questions
to fully understand in depth what I want
to build. You should be doing this, too.
Once we have this advanced plan mode
built out, then we will give it a goal
which is the big loop it runs in to
build this huge idea. So, what we're
going to build today is a personal
productivity app. This is everything.
This is your to-do list, Kanban board,
calendar, note-taking app, like your
Notion on top of that. This is
everything we're building entire complex
app, and we're going to build it all in
one goal. So, typically when using like
Opus, you'd build each one of those
tools out one by one by one. Fable,
we're doing it all at once. So, watch
how we do this. So, here's the prompt
we're going to use. I'll put this down
below so you can copy and paste it. Feel
free to pause right here and grab it so
you can do this with me. I want to build
out a personal productivity tool. I want
it to include to-do list, Kanban board,
calendar, comprehensive note-taking app,
Pomodoro timer, and even a little game I
can play to take a break. Before
building anything, please ask me any
questions you have on this idea so we
can build a fully fleshed out app. I'm
going to hit enter, and he's going to
first start asking me any questions it
has to develop this idea. This is not
only a good exercise to get the AI
up-to-date in what you want to build,
but also it's a good exercise for you to
kind of think through things to fully
flesh this out. So, where do we want to
build this? Let's make this a web app.
How should your data be stored? Let's
make it local only so it's nice and
easy.
What How connected should the features
be to each other? Definitely deeply
integrated. What kind of break game
sounds fun? Let's do a classic arcade
game. I like that. And now it fully
fleshes out and we're going to submit
our answers. Now it's doing more
thinking, and now it has even more
questions for us. Typical plan mode,
just a few questions, then it builds.
Here we're asking to ask as many
questions as it needs to get this
working.
What visual style do you want? Clean and
minimal, playful and colorful, retro
terminal? I kind of like the idea of
playful and colorful. Let's do that. How
powerful should the note-taking be?
Let's do a daily journal style. What
should the calendar handle? Definitely
task and events.
And anything special for the Pomodoro
timer? Let's do it attach it to tasks.
As well as stats and streaks. I like
that as well.
And then let's hit submit and we'll
submit answers there. All right, look at
this. It gave me an entire massive
command uh to build this out. Let's do
this. We're going to copy and paste
this. It has everything in it. And then
what we're going to do is /goal and then
paste that in and hit enter. And then
now what it's going to do is put it in a
loop to build out this entire thing. So
what's technically going to happen here
is now the agent will go start building
this app out and every once in a while
check back in, okay, is it accomplishing
the goal we gave it? Is it has it hit
the goal in the success criteria in our
prompt? This is going to ensure it does
not stop working until the success
criteria is met of what's inside the
prompt. And because we did the advanced
plan mode it has a really comprehensive
view into what we actually want built.
That's the key to doing any of these
advanced tasks is the AI no offense to
you guys. I mean you're really smart cuz
you watch my channel. But the AI at this
point probably smarter. So you should
lean on it to do any sort of thinking
and planning. Right? You giving it a
command to do something advanced it
probably can command itself to do that
advanced thing better. So you want to
say, "Hey, how would you do this? What's
the best way to do this? Can you plan
this out for me?" All right, looks like
it is all done. It is built, verified,
and running. It named it Fable. I think
uh Anthropic might be feeling themselves
a little bit because the model's named
Fable and it's now naming all the apps
it builds Fable. Uh let's take a look at
this. Let's see how it's looking. So I'm
going to be honest, I think the UI is a
little ugly, but to be honest, I also
answered the question to make it
colorful and playful. So I guess it is
very colorful and playful. Let's see
what we got. It looks like it has
absolutely everything in it. So let's do
a quick task. Edit the Fable 5 video.
Hit enter on that. Boom, it's on your
plate. That's very, very nice looking.
Let's check out the calendar. Full
calendar. Let's give it a an event right
now. Check video performance.
We'll give it tomorrow. We'll give it a
date for Thursday. We'll give it a
color. Add the event. Boom, there. This
is a fully working calendar. Let's see.
Here's our week view. Week view. Can add
the task there in the calendar invites
there. Love that. Notes. Full
note-taking section. Feeling great about
Fable. There. Boom, goes into the past
entries. That's very nice. Pomodoro
timer. Let's start our Pomodoro timer.
Okay, the focus. Look, it's got streaks.
It's got everything. It's got a full
tracker of how many times you use the
Pomodoro timer. Let's check out the
arcade. All right, it is a snake game.
That's a good looking snake game.
Makes the snake longer when I eat the
strawberries. I don't know if the
strawberry is a little dig at OpenAI
there, but there we go. Let's see what
happens when we die again and there.
Boom, adds our score. Kanban board.
There's our task. Can we click and drag
it? It did everything. It built
absolutely everything we asked for. Zero
bugs. It just works works. The tasks are
there. Everything's there. We have the
nice dashboard. The key is goals. The
key is loops. If you are new to goals in
loops, do not worry. You go into Claude
code. You ask, "Hey, I want to put this
in a loop. I want to make a goal
statement. Please tell me what goal to
make or what loop we should be using."
And it will give it to you. I'll give
you a quick little bit of an advanced
workflow as well. If you're using other
tools, other project management tools
like Linear, like you see here, Claude
can plug into it. An interesting loop we
can do is we can say something like
{slash} loop and then every we'll say
one hour check to see if there are any
new Linear tasks you can take. And now
what it will do is every hour go into
our linear, our project management tool,
and see if there's any coding task it
can take and use. That's a very strong
way to use loops in here as well. This
is how you need to be thinking in loops
because these models are so smart and
powerful now. One last interesting point
here. By the way, if you learned
anything at all, make sure to leave a
like down below, subscribe, turn
notifications. All I do is make amazing
videos about AI. One last thing I want
to talk about real quick is this is only
available in subscriptions for the next
2 weeks. On June 22nd, they take it out
of the subscriptions and you have to pay
via API. It is double the price as Opus.
It's actually a fraction the price of
ChatGPT 5.5 Pro, but it is double the
price of Opus. This might be the
beginning of the end of subsidized
subscriptions. That's something
interesting to watch here. It is the
first model a frontier lab has released
that's not available in subscriptions.
So, something interesting note, if you
subscribed at the moment, make sure to
test it out. You have a couple weeks to
do it. Then you'll have to pay via API
usage. That is Claude 3 Opus. Let me
know down below what your experiences
have been so far and what you're
building with it. I'm very curious to
hear. More videos coming on using it
with Hermes and using an open claw.
Subscribe and turn notifications for
that and I will see you in the next
video.
