Built-in browser
Claude's desktop app now has its own browser — it navigates to websites, clicks around, takes screenshots, and sees tasks through to the end. Makes it a lot easier to pull information from sites only accessible via a web interface (yes, sites without proper agent connectors still exist). OpenAI is heading the same direction, folding its standalone Atlas browser into a built-in one.
Fable 5: another extension
Anthropic has extended free Fable 5 access on paid plans again — now through July 19. This is the third time they've moved the deadline: first July 7, then the 12th, now the 19th.
The model isn't cheap — after the window closes it's $10/$50 per million tokens, twice the price of Opus. This same week GPT-5.6 and Grok 4.5 dropped at noticeably lower prices. Releasing their flagship into that environment right now apparently isn't something Anthropic is ready to do, so the best model stays locked inside the subscription. Otherwise users migrate to ChatGPT — cheaper, better at following instructions, limits are way higher.
