Playground Games says Fable's decade-long development was protected because Xbox considers the RPG series vital to the platform's identity. The reboot, announced in 2020 with actual development beginning in 2016, will release in 2027 and features British comedic talent including Richard Ayoade and Natasia Demetriou.
Anthropic released a coding model called Fable for three days before the US government issued an export control order restricting access, citing concerns about model jailbreaking and weaponization. The author questions whether this intervention is genuinely about safety or a narrative tool to increase government regulation and reduce competition in the AI industry.
Fusion is a new dual-model architecture for Devin Desktop and CLI that pairs a frontier model for planning and review with a cost-effective model for execution, achieving up to 39% better efficiency on coding benchmarks. The system runs two parallel agents with separate contexts, allowing the lead model to maintain control while the sidekick handles implementation, avoiding the pitfalls of traditional model routing. Devin reports that using more expensive, token-efficient models can reduce overall costs by delegating effectively and maintaining prompt caches.
