Claude

Anthropic is upgrading Claude Sonnet, replacing Sonnet 4.6 from February with Sonnet 5 as the best medium-sized model.

Anthropic just launched a brand-new desktop app called Claude Science. The new app joins the main Claude app on the Mac, which includes Claude AI, Cowork, and Code.

No sign of Claude Fable 5’s return yet, though Anthropic does have a new Claude feature launching today. Claude Tag is “a new way for teams to work with Claude,” per Anthropic.

Last year, Apple debuted Digital ID on iPhone, allowing users to use their US passport as identification in Apple Wallet. Apple’s been rolling out drivers licenses in Wallet slowly over the past few years, but that’s on a state-by-state basis. Digital ID is universal, allowing anyone with a passport to use it.

Of course, you can use it at TSA checkpoints in airports – but Apple had a bigger scope in mind: digital age and identity verification. While not yet confirmed, it’s possible that we could see a first major implementation of this quite soon, in Claude.

Anthropic confirmed tonight that it has disabled access to Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 to all customers, following an export control directive from the US government. Here are the details.

Back in April, Anthropic unveiled its Claude Mythos AI model that it said was too powerful to publicly release. Instead, the company has shared access with software vendors, including Apple, in an effort to use the model for enhanced cybersecurity.

Now, as promised, Anthropic has released what it calls a Mythos-class model that customers can actually use. The new model is called Claude Fable.

Anthropic unveiled its Claude Mythos AI model in April, only sharing access with select partners like Apple. The controlled release is part of Anthropic’s Project Glasswing cybersecurity initiative.

Now Anthropic says it’s sharing Claude Mythos access with more partners in more countries. Meanwhile, the company says Mythos-class models will be available to all customers in a matter of weeks.
