6.12.26: The week that the scariest model went public.

from Intelligence. Distilled. · host Shawn Feeney

This week, the line between what AI labs can build and what they'll let you use became something you can see. Anthropic released Claude Fable 5, a public version of the model it spent two months calling too dangerous to ship, with the riskiest skills fenced off, included with paid plans for two weeks, then pay-per-use.We also get into Apple rebuilding Siri on a custom Google model after two years of trying to build its own, the SpaceX IPO that's quietly an AI bet, and a federal AI bill that picked up an unlikely co-signer: the CEO building the most powerful model on the market, asking to be regulated. Plus, in The One More Thing, the cup of coffee that explains the whole AI assistant race.Everything we covered, plus the deeper read, is at intelligencedistilled.io.
