this dream people have of there being a long term career in being IC an with a narrow technical engineering responsibility is not real regardless of industry ai lab, datacenter, factory, whatever. it doesn't matter. you're not getting promotions year over year for building a cooling system or model architecture having the idea for the cooling system, planning it, acquiring budget/headcount, delivering the system, & having customers buy it is what gets the big bucks laser focus on evaluating whether or not you're improving at delivering outcomes if you're not doing that at your place of work today then you're not going to have career progression in 5yrs regardless join an ai lab, saas, cooling company, whatever. just make the number go up & you're going to be fine. embrace complexity
If I was a recent EE graduate I would probably go into power. I think the smartest career move you can do right now is do 2-3 years and a big data center power company like Eaton, Schneider Electric, or Flex learn the problem space and what customers want and start your own company. It isn’t as sexy as “AI” or “chip design” but we probably get more value out of new power architectures than chip design at this point.

the "software engineering" i was doing in 2022 has been fully killed by fable for a minute i thought it wasn't that different to opus/codex, but once you get fable managing sub-agents, it becomes clear that it's 10x better i used to be half joking when i said i wasted years of my life learning programming languages by hand, but now that's just 100% true there's approximately 0 value in knowing how to code if you want a job building things today, you better know how to actually build product end to end. don't expect that you can just be a CRUD monkey anymore you need to have your own ideas & vision, be capable of sending outbound & taking feedback, iterating, marketing, improving, deciding when to stop loss and pivot, then running through that loop on repeat the only value left in us meatbags is our ability to be accountable & own things end to end

you should be loop engineering analytics & feedback mintlify supports raw exports via api which is what i think most of our customers should be using step 1: setup a /loop which pulls your analytics once per day & makes improvements based on what it's seeing step 2: profit

founders, you're not hiring in network enough it feels awkward & high risk, but you should be working with your friends. your company should feel like a cult fight as hard as you possibly can to bring on people you actually know. press every single person you hire to extract from them everyone who they think is smart & then go after those people this effect is part of what makes X a great platform for scouting talent. if someone is in tpot then it's likely that they'll understand your company's market dynamics & be a stronger long term fit recruiting is the highest leverage task you can be good at as a founder post seed-stage if you don't believe me, take it from @sama:

i grow less interested in RL research like this by the day the only reason to RL was to increase profit margin. if you could get a tuned OSS model to perform similarly to an anthropic or openai one, then you could swap customers over to that and make 20%/$ instead of 5% however, now that OSS is mostly caught up, you can swap customers from opus to GLM without any fine tuning and nobody will notice. HURRAH! in 2026, you can quickly adopt OSS and increase margin without wasting any time or $$ on fine-tuning nonsense. no research talent needed extend this idea out a bit and you can see why the venture market is so excited about the inference category. companies like fireworks, etched, baseten, etc. are going to make billions of $$ in the next few mths i wish there was more retail allocation

bro to bro: never let a vc take 1hr 20min of your time. you should be too busy for this or at least pretending to be.
just got off a VC meeting it was scheduled for 30 min but it lasted 1hr 20min i think living in SF changed how i pitch the conviction is an all time high

me: “fable, thank god you're back. please migrate the whole codebase off nextjs” fable: “sorry, i cannot. some routine tasks like coding & debugging will fall back to opus 4.8.” me:
Claude Fable 5 will be available again globally tomorrow. After a series of productive conversations with the US government, we're redeploying the model with a new set of classifiers to target and block more cybersecurity tasks. In the near term, some routine tasks like coding and debugging will fall back to Opus 4.8. We’ll continue to refine these classifiers over the coming weeks to reduce false positives and better distinguish genuine misuse from legitimate requests. We’ve also begun drafting a consensus framework—with Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and other Glasswing partners—for assessing the severity of AI jailbreaks and how AI developers should respond to them. We invite other industry partners and model providers to join us in this effort. Finally, we’re scaling up our collaboration with the US government on model testing and safeguards. This will include pre-release access to models and safeguards for evaluation, information sharing on jailbreaks and misuse, and dedicated resources for joint research. Thank you to our users for your patience, and to our partners across the government, industry, and the research community who worked alongside us to make Fable 5 available again.

We’ve received notice that the Department of Commerce has lifted export controls on Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5. We'll begin restoring access tomorrow, and will share an update soon. We’re grateful to our users for their patience, and to everyone who worked with us on redeploying the models.
