Sonnet 4.6 is here. It's our most capable Sonnet model by far, approaching Opus-class capabilities in many areas. Very excited for folks to try this one out. The performance jump over Sonnet 4.5 (which was released just over four months ago) is quite insane.

Based on absolute engagement — the platform doesn’t expose follower counts here, so large accounts score higher.

Why it worked

Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: corporate
Written for: People building with AI

At my direction, early this morning federal agents arrested Don Lemon, Trahern Jeen Crews, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lydell Lundy, in connection with the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. More details soon.

For those confused why the US state and Silicon Valley are having a meltdown on twitter today. China released multiple AI models that are 50x more efficient than the best American AI models and made them open source, ruining the AI market

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

I am very excited about AI, but to go off-script for a minute: I built an app with Codex last week. It was very fun. Then I started asking it for ideas for new features and at least a couple of them were better than I was thinking of. I felt a little useless and it was sad.

Hi! I'm one of the prompt writers that worked on this ad. It's a lot harder than people think! Prompts that my team used include: -make it funny -make it epic AND funny -funnier!!! Please be nice to my team as many of them will be laid off/replaced by AI

It’s patently absurd that Apple isn’t smart enough to make their own AI, yet is somehow capable of ensuring that OpenAI will protect your security & privacy! Apple has no clue what’s actually going on once they hand your data over to OpenAI. They’re selling you down the river.

Fable 5.1 is a beast at many things but one thing in particular I have been having a ton of fun with is generating videos through code. For this one I gave it a picture of a property lot. It designed a house for the lot, rendered it, and produced a cinematic walkthrough.

The way I keep describing Fable 5.1 to people is that it just works. I explain what I want in a few vague, messy sentences, and it figures out the rest. It fills in the gaps the way I would have. It's a truly impressive model in so many ways and I hope you enjoy using it!

Some of my favorite graphs from Opus 5 launch. We put a ton of work into making this model token efficient across domains while still raising the intelligence bar. It feels very smooth to use and I prefer it over Fable 5 for many coding tasks.

Starting June 15, paid Claude plans include a monthly Claude Agent SDK credit. It covers usage on your own scripts and agents, claude -p, and third-party apps built on the SDK (OpenClaw, Conductor, etc) and it's separate from your regular usage limits.

Some of my favorite things in Opus 4.7: - Very good at async work and following instructions - Effort levels are far more predictable for token control (+ new xhigh level) - No more downscaling of high-res images - Noticeably more taste in UIs, slides, docs

New version of Claude Code in the desktop app dropped today with tons of new features and performance improvements. Between Cowork and Code, I've found I don't really need to open other apps (or even my terminal) to do most of my work now.
