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.

Viral score

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

From likes, comments.

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: personal
Written for: Engineers and technical teams

New in Claude Code: your sessions can now message each other. Instead of having to re-explain yourself in another session, you can now tell Claude to do it. It sends a summary (not your history or files), and the other session picks it up mid-task.

I will be pushing for a moratorium on the construction of data centers that are powering the unregulated sprint to develop & deploy AI. The moratorium will give democracy a chance to catch up, and ensure that the benefits of technology work for all of us, not just the 1%.

New in Claude Code: Remote Control. Kick off a task in your terminal and pick it up from your phone while you take a walk or join a meeting. Claude keeps running on your machine, and you can control the session from the Claude app or t.co

New in Claude Code: auto mode. Instead of approving every file write and bash command, or skipping permissions entirely, auto mode lets Claude make permission decisions on your behalf. Safeguards check each action before it runs.

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

FFmpeg is moving to Rust 🦀 Our use of C and Assembly in FFmpeg has been an unacceptable violation of safety. FFmpeg will be running 10x slower - but we're doing it for your safety. All your videos will appear green - safety first, working software later.

More from Alex Albert

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.

Tons of improvements shipped with this one: - Opus 4.6 1M is now the default Opus model for Claude Code users on Max, Team, and Enterprise plans. - No more long context price increase in the API. - No beta header required in the API. - Include up to 600 images in one request.
