Anthropic’s Hidden Fable 5 Rules, Google’s $5 Price War, and Diffusion Models for Text
The commercial launch of Claude Fable 5 came with some surprising fine print. Today's episode breaks down Anthropic's quiet end to its Zero Data Retention policy and the "hidden interventions" built into its most capable model.
Plus, Google just dropped the first sub-$5 AI subscription in the US, igniting a massive price war that could threaten the valuation of pure-play AI labs. We also explore Google's groundbreaking Gemini 3.5 Live Translate that preserves your exact voice, the experimental new DiffusionGemma model that generates text 4x faster using image-generation techniques, a terrifying IBM survey for IT leaders, and OpenAI's push for a global youth AI safety institute.
