Claude Fable 5 will not do your coding and debugging alongwith requiring separate usage credits

Claude Fable 5 will be available globally from today. However, Anthropic says that "some routine tasks" like "coding" and "debugging" will fall back to Opus 4.8. This means, coding and debugging are simply routine tasks in the eyes of Anthropic and thus will utilize Opus 4.8 instead.

Additionally, Anthropic also notes that the "Fable 5 will be included for up to 50% of weekly usage limits through July 7, after which it will be available via usage credits"

Atp, I have more respect for OpenAI now than whatever bs Anthropic does.

Since the post doesn't mention it, if anyone's curious, you can find the PoC (and use it on pretty much any MTK device) here: https://github.com/R0rt1z2/lkpatcher

For those unfamiliar with it, this basically means you can use fenrir (for the average person this means strong integrity) and boot custom LKs / any bootloader on virtually any relatively new MTK device, even if that wasn't previously possible.

It includes two exploits: the 2023 one (well known and already patched), and the new variant, which should affect most devices.

To use the new exploit against a patched/modified LK image:

python3 -m lkpatcher lk-patched.bin --cert-bypass

To use the old exploit (mainly on V5 / legacy devices and some older V6 devices):

python3 -m lkpatcher lk-patched.bin --cert-bypass wrap

Introducing Claude Sonnet 5

Claude Sonnet 5 is the most agentic Sonnet yet and it makes plans, uses tools like browsers and terminals, and runs autonomously at a level that just a few months ago required larger and more expensive models.

Sonnet 5 is a substantial improvement over Sonnet 4.6 on reasoning, tool use, coding, and knowledge work. Its performance is close to Opus 4.8.

Sonnet 5 finishes complex tasks where previous Sonnets stopped short, checks its own output without being asked, and does all its agentic work while being cheaper. It is now default on Free and Pro platforms.

Hello there!

I'd like to show you what I've been working on for the past 8 hours. This is a cert exploit that our device (among many others) is vulnerable to. With this exploit, we can practically modify the LK (Little Kernel) also known as the bootloader to enable/disable features with the usage of fenrir.

I have modified the bootloader string from MBM -> NIG (yes I did that intentionally, it's funny). Moreover I have disabled image authentication verification which verifies all the firmware partitions and I disabled the most annoying feature of all: Preflash validation check. With these modifications, I was able to have a custom bootloader version string, I was able to boot a custom boot logo, I was able to flash partitions in bootloader and the best part of all, I WAS ABLE TO BOOT OSS DTBO!

This is just a teaser, more info (possibly a writeup as well) to come soon™️ :)

Credits are given in the next post (due to telegram's low word limit).

A user asked the Nothing Team about the UI inconsistency between Phone 2 and Phone 4a when both of them run on the same Nothing OS 4.1 and their response is ....

"The UI difference you've noticed is intentional. The card-based Settings UI was designed specifically for newer devices like the Phone (4a) to leverage their advanced hardware capabilities and provide a more modern user experience".

The Nothing Phone 2 has Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 which is more powerful than the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 that powers the Nothing Phone 4a. Still, the Phone 4a will get a better card design UI simply due to

advanced hardware capabilities and provide a more modern user experience.

Even Xiaomi users aren't scammed this much with the HyperOS.

It's 2026 bro, fuck it.

It's time to go to court and sue people over TUNG TUNG SAHOR and U DIN DIN DIN DIN DUN MA DIN DIN DIN DUN, intellectual property of AI slop brainrot, and Roblox mini-games.

This is the worst form-factor for any foldable device

yeh this is only in Japan
imagine if they do this on global

Claude Fable 5 would need identify verification and will be billed separately

The strings show Fable 5 is being put behind the usage credit system, billed outside your plan.

Additionally, identity verification is referenced in the same update: "Your credits will be added once your identity is verified."

Anthropic previously called identity verification unrelated to Fable and limited to flagged accounts but it looks like that won't be the case anymore.

Oppo K13 Turbo Pro powered by Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 is also another good option for ₹27,000 if u don't want Realmeme since they fool around with updates later

Unfortunately, due to memory crises, it looks like Realme GT 7T is the only smartphone you could get as a new phone with the best specifications if your budget is around ₹25,000 (~250$) in India
