Fable 5, Edge AI, and Personalized Models

AI news keeps moving from bigger frontier models to smarter ways of using models: when to spend tokens on Fable 5, when Sonnet-style reliability matters more than eloquence, and how smaller edge models may become faster and more personal. Beth Lyons and Andy Halliday discuss Fable 5, Claude model naming, Android intelligence, AI search reliability, data-center cooling, custom inference chips, LoRA adapters, and generative video experiments. The conversation keeps returning to a practical question: how do we use AI intentionally when capability is expanding faster than our processes?
