Fable 5.2 is here and "almost" AGI, says Wharton professor
Welcome back, Superhuman. Anthropic may have finally topped Opus 5.5. The lab just released Fable 5.2, which a Wharton professor called “almost” AGI (AI smarter than human experts). Even better, there’s no cybersecurity delay. It’s available now, along with fresh usage and new prompting strategies.
Today: Google challenges Nvidia, how to turn your data into visualizations and interactive dashboards, and get the latest prompts and trending social posts.

A Wharton professor asked Fable 5.2 to create the most impressive thing possible. See what it created, and read his full review of Anthropic’s latest model.
1. Anthropic debuts Fable and Mythos 5.2 as it nears IPO: The duo share the same underlying model, with Fable 5.2 adding extra protective guardrails. Anthropic says Fable 5.2 is best for your most ambitious projects, works up to 30% faster than before, and is a “step above” Opus 5.5. It’s live now across paid Claude plans, along with extra usage and fresh prompting strategies. Early reviews:
Wharton professor Ethan Mollick asked Fable 5.2 to build the most impressive thing it could for his blog. It delivered a thought-provoking 90-second video, complete with a custom soundtrack and twist ending. His verdict: “almost” AGI.
Entrepreneur Greg Isenberg says Fable 5.2 tells you when it isn’t sure of something, instead of guessing. He shared 8 other observations.
Tech creator Riley Brown used it to create a one-minute animated movie based on one prompt.
2. Google unveils two new AI chips as it ramps up competition with Nvidia: The tech giant introduced two new versions of its eighth-generation Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), the in-house chips that train and run Gemini. Both are expected to ship in 2027, and Bloomberg Intelligence projects TPU sales will climb from $12B this year to more than $135B by 2028. The announcement added even more pressure to Nvidia’s stock, which just hit a 7-month low amid the ongoing investigation into CEO Jensen Huang.

FROM THE FRONTIER
AI overuse could be creating a “speed trap” at your company. Here’s how to avoid it.
Made with Midjourney
A “speed trap” is when AI churns out work faster than anyone can understand it. The productivity boost feels great at first. But some leaders say it leads to more confusion down the road.
At Every’s Thesis: 2027 conference, Notion CEO Ivan Zhao warned that a codebase can stop making sense within just one week of engineers looping in their own coding agents. A viral Reddit post claims this exact scenario played out at their company: their codebase tripled in size, but now no one understands it. It’s not just engineers, either.
Steve Huynh, a former Amazon principal engineer, argued that reliance on AI is threatening the company’s writing culture, potentially weakening decision-making.
How can you avoid speed traps?
Keep learning in the loop: Anthropic recommends designing workflows so employees keep learning and retain the skills necessary to fact-check AI’s outputs.
Always add your own perspective: Every CEO Dan Shipper argues anyone can get a default AI answer. The real value is the perspective you add on top of it, and that only comes from your understanding of the work itself.
Make authors defend their work: Mathematician Terence Tao says if authors can’t give a clear, expert-level talk on an AI-assisted result, it shouldn’t be published. Consider holding your team’s memos, decks, and code to the same bar.

Getting AI to answer customers is easy now.
Getting it to answer with your best rep’s judgment is the hard part: knowing when to follow the process, bend a rule, or pass it up the hierarchy with full context.
