Here's today's news. Monday (US time) was busy. Anthropic shipped its top models, Claude Fable 5.2 and Claude Mythos 5.2, and the same day Meta announced a new model and Google announced new TPUs.
Fable 5.2 generates output up to 30% faster than Fable 5.1, and input and output prices both drop 20%. Meta's Muse Ember is the smallest Muse model, built to handle repetitive agent work cheaply at $0.10 per million input tokens.
Google introduced TPU 8tx for confidential inference and TPU 8i Max for long contexts. It also open-sourced TPU Sync, a KV-cache tiering layer, and put a TPU agent suite for coding tools into preview.
