Am new here

Anthropic finally brought Fable 5 back and in the same week, they also launched the new Sonnet 5 model. In this video, I break down everything you need to know about these models and explains which one you should be using. Enjoy!

Most conversations about AI and productivity focus on task speed: how much faster can a draft, a report, a piece of research get done. That's a reasonable place to focus, since task speed is visible and easy to measure. You can time it. You can compare before and after. The gains are concrete. But task speed isn't where the real leverage is anymore, for a specific and important reason. When AI compresses task time across the board, the bottleneck in most workflows moves somewhere task speed can't reach: the speed at which decisions get made about what to do next. Decision speed, not task speed, is quietly becoming the more important variable, and it's not showing up on anyone's task list because it was never a task to begin with. ------------- Context ------------- Think about what a typical AI-assisted workflow actually looks like now. A draft that used to take two hours takes fifteen minutes. Research that used to take an afternoon takes twenty minutes. The execution layer of most knowledge work has compressed dramatically. What hasn't compressed at the same rate is the layer above execution: deciding what to work on, evaluating whether a direction is right, choosing between options, determining when something is good enough to move forward. This layer was always there. Before AI, it was partially hidden inside the execution time. Deciding what a report should argue happened, in part, while writing it. Deciding which research direction to pursue happened, in part, while doing the research. The thinking and the doing were intertwined, and the total time included both. Now that doing has compressed dramatically, the thinking that used to be embedded in it has to happen more explicitly and more separately. And for a lot of people, that thinking hasn't gotten any faster. It's the same deliberative process it always was, but it's now a larger proportion of the total time a piece of work takes, and it's often the part that isn't being tracked or improved at all. ------------- The Bottleneck Moved, and Most People Haven't Noticed -------------
