This episode covers a rapid succession of AI releases and feature rollouts across major platforms. Anthropic's Sonnet 5 emerges as a significant upgrade - delivering performance near Opus 4.8 at substantially lower API costs ($2-3 per million tokens input vs. higher Opus pricing) with a 1M context window and adaptive thinking enabled by default, making it an ideal cost-conscious daily driver for DevOps teams running agentic workloads and everyday knowledge workers. Simultaneously, Fable 5 (with guardrails) and Mythos 5 (without) represent Anthropic's frontier tier, though their limited availability reinforces a shift toward stratified model access. NotebookLM's new 60-second vertical video format, powered by Nano Banana 2 Lite, transforms long-form source material into cinematic short-form content - genuinely useful for educators, marketers, and lifelong learners seeking engaging study materials beyond traditional "brain rot." ChatGPT Finance (now on $20/month Plus tier via Plaid integration), X's official MCP server for the X API, and OpenClaw's native iOS/Android app collectively reduce friction for financial management, real-time research integration, and distributed AI agent monitoring. The episode targets operators weighing model selection, budget allocation, and tool consolidation in an increasingly cost-stratified AI landscape.

Key takeaways

  • →Sonnet 5 is a practical alternative to Opus 4.8 for most use cases at lower cost, suitable for teams managing agentic workloads without premium pricing constraints.
  • →NotebookLM's 60-second cinematic vertical videos turn educational content creation and social distribution into a single workflow for marketers and educators.
  • →ChatGPT Finance with Plaid integration consolidates financial account access into ChatGPT's reasoning, potentially replacing paid personal finance subscriptions like Mint.
  • →X's official MCP server eliminates custom integration work for developers and AI users wanting to connect Twitter research directly to Claude, Cursor, or other MCP-supported tools.
  • →OpenClaw's native mobile app removes the need to use Discord or third-party messaging platforms to monitor distributed AI agents remotely.

Questions this episode answers

How does Sonnet 5 compare in performance to Opus 4.8?

Sonnet 5 performs at approximately 63% of Opus 4.8 on some benchmarks (vs. Opus's 69%), with some benchmarks showing Sonnet 5 even ahead of Opus, while costing significantly less - $2-3 per million input tokens versus Opus's higher tier pricing.

Is NotebookLM's new 60-second video format available to all users?

The feature is rolling out to paid Gemini users in English first, with non-English and mobile availability to follow in coming weeks; it uses the Nano Banana 2 Lite model for visual generation.

What security measures does ChatGPT Finance use when connecting bank accounts?

Connections route through Plaid (a trusted finance platform), limiting ChatGPT's access to read-only data without seeing full account numbers or write access to make changes.

Does OpenClaw's mobile app work standalone without a local server?

No, the mobile app is a remote bridge that pairs with your existing OpenClaw gateway (running on a dedicated machine or cloud server) via QR code setup, not a standalone application.

What new capability does X's MCP server add for developers?

The official MCP server eliminates custom integration work by letting developers and AI tools like Claude or Cursor directly access the X API (search posts, analyze conversations, look up users, retrieve trends) through a standardized protocol rather than building bespoke connections.

What our scoring noted

Our reviewer’s read on each dimension, with quotes from the episode.

Insight Density

12 / 20

The episode covers multiple AI product releases with some useful context (pricing, benchmarks, use cases), but much of the value is in quick summaries rather than deep insights. The host provides practical comparisons (e.g., Sonnet 5 vs. Opus 4.8 pricing, token costs for Fable 5) and highlights real constraints (export controls, limited availability windows), but lacks novel analytical frameworks or non-obvious observations about what these releases mean for business operators.

So Sonnet might actually be a good like delegator model because with how freaking expensive the mythos uh tier models are with mythos 5 and fable five, you can't be using those things for everything, right?
if I'm paying for that via Fable five right I'm paying $200 a month to do my you know roughly 10 billion tokens uh like I said give or take um on codecs GPT 5.5 high if I'm paying for that on Fable because in five days that's the only way you can use it that's roughly depending on the blend of you know input output it's about $200,000 uh a month

Originality

8 / 20

The episode recycles standard product announcement talking points and typical AI podcast coverage without meaningful contrarian takes or first-principles thinking. The host occasionally offers personal preferences (preferring Sonnet 5 to Opus, skepticism about NotebookLM vertical video format changing his mind) but these are subjective reactions rather than original frameworks. Most insights - comparing model tiers, discussing pricing trade-offs, highlighting mobile accessibility - are predictable coverage of expected feature rollouts.

it is a really good model. I've actually really enjoyed uh using Sonnet 5 more so than Opus and maybe even Fable
this might be Doom scrolling that I will actually start to do. That's because Notebook LM has a new video format

Guest Caliber

0 / 20

This is a solo episode with no guest. The host is a podcast operator providing product coverage, not a practitioner or executive with direct operational experience at scale using these tools in a business context.

Specificity & Evidence

13 / 20

The episode includes concrete details: specific pricing ($2-3 per million tokens in, $10-15 out for Sonnet), benchmarks (63% vs. Opus 69%), context window sizes (1M tokens, 128k output), token consumption metrics (2.5B tokens/week), and product availability windows (5 days for Fable, rollout to English first). However, examples are often generic use cases rather than named customer implementations or documented performance data from real deployments.

it's two dollars uh per million um in, ten dollars per million out, then it goes up to three dollars and fifteen cents
So it's about uh on some benchmarks, it's about 63-ish percent versus you know Opus 69

Conversational Craft

9 / 20

As a solo show with no guest, conversational craft is limited. The host delivers rapid-fire product summaries with occasional self-referential asides and personal anecdotes but lacks the dynamic challenge of pushback or deep-dive questioning. The format is more monologue-heavy announcement delivery than conversational exploration. There are no moments where assumptions are probed or claims tested through back-and-forth dialogue.

All right let's get straight to it, and we'll start with Anthropic's Sonnet 5
All right two more and we'll make these ones quick even though they're bigger ones

What a wild few days in AI. I mean, we got not only one, but two new AI models from Anthropic. Although one was technically older and it's gonna be pretty much gone in like a hundred hours, but who's counting, anyways? So Fable 5 and Sonnet 5 should be on your testing list this holiday weekend.

Oh, and you remember that whole open claw thing that was the most popular open source software ever? Well, they had one quiet update this week that makes it probably like five times more useful than before. And do we finally have high quality educational brain rot videos? Is that a thing?

Woof. A lot happening in AI this week. That's why we have our Friday features. Well, this time coming to you on Thursday because we have the extended holiday weekend in the US.

So everyday AI will be taking a break on Friday, but we'll be back on Monday. But long story short, is we have our Friday features here on Thursday. So uh on today's show, here's what you're gonna learn. You're gonna know why Anthropic's most important update this week might not actually be Fable 5.

You're gonna know how your iPhone can now control unlimited AI models with multiple big releases, and you'll know the new AI video doom scrolling format that will actually help you learn things and make you smarter. Yay! Brain rot that we can all actually enjoy. All right, let's get into it.

Welcome to everyday AI. If you're new here, my name's Jordan Wilson and we do this every day. It's your unedited, unscripted live stream podcast, and free daily newsletter, helping everyday business leaders like you and me not just keep up with all this AI craziness, but I tell you what matters, what doesn't. And you use that information like you're the smartest person in AI because that's what you are if you listen and read every single day.

So uh make sure if you haven't already, please subscribe to the show on Apple Podcasts or on Spotify and sign up for the free daily newsletter at your everydayai.com. Each day we recap the highlights from today's episode as well as all of the other AI news and developments you need to know to stay ahead. All right.

So, like I said, just FYI. Normally, this is our Friday AI features. This is where uh I tell you, here's AI you can actually use today, because uh so much of everything else that's happening in the AI world, it's you know, drama and the stock market and jobs and rumors. So on Fridays, I say nope.

Here's the things you can actually go use this minute. So, yeah, normally Fridays, but Thursdays, you get it. All right, but let's get straight to it, and we'll start with Anthropic's Sonnet 5. So this is Anthropic's most agentic saw sonnet model yet, uh, which was released this week.

And according to benchmarks, it performs pretty close to Opus 4.8 at a lower cost. So it's about uh on some benchmarks, it's about 63-ish percent versus you know Opus 69. Uh, so you know, pretty high uh compared to Opus in terms of benchmarks.

Uh so some it's even ahead of Opus. So you could kind of think of this as like a maybe a sonnet 4.8, but it's sonnet five. Kind of confusing because now we have multiple tiers of models from Anthropic, all on different levels, because you still have Port Haiku, this fastest but least intelligent model that's on 4.

5, and then you have Opus, which used to be the most powerful, but now it's second in line on 4.8, and then you have what used to be the middle model, which is now the second in Sonnet on five, and then you have Fable Five. So, in order, yeah, if you're confused, all these new naming systems, right? We have all the new stuff from OpenAI, you have Soul, Terra, Luna, right?

So here we're gonna go in order. I'm gonna tell you the models. Uh, so entropic from the least powerful to the most powerful, uh, we have haiku 4.5, then we have Sonnet 5, then we have Opus 4.

8, then we technically have Fable 5 slash Mythos 5, kind of the same models, one without guardrails, one with. So all right. So let's talk about what makes Sonnet 5 good. So uh 1 million context win, right?

That kind of seems to be the norm now, and that includes 128,000 uh tokens of the outputs, it has adaptive thinking on by default and a new tokenizer built in. So this is available for everyone. And when I say everyone, even if you're on the free plan, which is good. Uh, so you know, a lot of times on a free plan, you're getting a less powerful model, and it's one of the most common misconceptions in AI, right?

I've literally I don't see it as much in 2026. Uh, but last year I would still see like literally Fortune 500 level uh enterprise executives leading AI strategy, and they would log into a free, you know, Chat GPT or a free Gemini or a free anthropic uh account, and they would be testing things that way, which is the worst thing to do, by the way. But it's good now that Anthropic is upping their default free model to something on the five tier. It is a really good model.

I've actually really enjoyed uh using Sonnet 5 more so than Opus and maybe even Fable. We'll get to that here in a little bit. So here's why it's useful. Well, you have Opus level agentic performance at Sonnet pricing.

So the pricing, uh, if you are paying on the API side, uh, there's kind of this uh you know discount pricing for a couple of weeks. So it's two dollars uh per million um in, ten dollars per million out, then it goes up to three dollars and fifteen dollars. So uh if you are paying uh the bill, so to speak, right? So if you're not on a subscription, if your company is using um, you know, anthropics models on the API side, Sonnet might actually be a good like delegator model because with how freaking expensive the mythos uh tier models are with mythos 5 and fable five, you can't be using those things for everything, right?

I'm even having to, you know, shift my own usage just on the subscription plan because you can't run you know fable five for everything. Yes, it's out, it's only a limited time, but you know, you can't. So you do have to make smart decisions whether you're on a subscription using anthropic or you're on the API side. And I've really liked Sonnet so far.

So it's cheaper than uh, you know, Opus 4.8 with similar-ish, um, you know, similar-ish performance. So I would slot it just below Opus 4.8, uh, GPT-5.

5, Gemini 3.1, Gemini 3.5, uh Flash. So it's it's kind of that tier below.

Uh, but it's lower, uh, you know, anthropic says lower sycopency, uh, lower hallucination rates, all those good things. Um, so who's gonna find this valuable? Uh I mean, if you want a daily driver model you can afford to use in anthropic, it's is gonna be much better. Uh, you know, if you are on a $20 plan, a team plan, a $200 max plan that I'm on, you can't really use the big model much, right?

The fable five, uh, and it's gonna be gone in a couple of days, anyways. So this is a great, I think, everyday driver. Um, and it's probably even if you are comfortable using Opus 4.8, I'm sure we'll see an Opus V in the next, you know, I don't know, three to six weeks, uh, something like that, depending on if it gets held up uh by the US government.

Uh, but it might just be a good standard practice moving forward for anthropic bottles uh to get used to using Sonnet, right? For I think for the majority of knowledge workers out there, I'm not talking about software developers, uh, you know, people running extremely heavy uh agentic workloads, but for everyday usage, this Sonnet 5, I think, could become a de facto driver. I do think in the same way, how uh, you know, we are unfortunately in this new era of AI where large language models are no longer democratized, right?

It's not everyone in the world is gonna have pretty much unlimited use of the best models like we've had up until you know June 2025. So, you know, we might have to also start shifting our usage accordingly. That's why I think Sonnet 5 is a great model. Um, so uh who's gonna find it valuable?

So, yeah, DevonOps teams, running agents at scale, uh, because it is good for a lot of those lower, uh lower hanging fruit agentic tasks, long-running tasks. Uh, and then also, like I said, cost conscious API buyers. Uh, so if you want that more OPIS class uh performance, but without the Opus pricing, uh, there you go. Or if you didn't win the lottery and can't afford uh Fable, then you know, Sonnet is gonna be your go-to.

All right, uh, let's keep it going. Next, yeah, brain rot that could actually be good for you. All right, this isn't really brain rot. Uh and and and FYI, I am not a fan of scrolling vertical videos.

Uh, you know, when open AI came out with their Sora, I'm like, no, this is terrible. Please, you know, I don't want this. You know, I'm actually glad they killed it off. Uh, this one with Notebook LM, this might be Doom scrolling that I will actually start to do.

That's because Notebook LM has a new video format. Uh, it is yes, vertical video 60 second, and they're really good. All right, so this is a new studio output in Notebook LM, a 60-second vertical video generated from your uploaded sources with narrated explanations and animations. So this was just announced like a couple hours ago, uh, alongside the new and powered by uh the new Nano Banana 2 Lite, which does power the visuals inside of this new 60-second vertical video format.

Uh, so it is a shorter vertical sibling to Notebook LM's existing cinematic video overview. So that's the big difference here. So you've inside of Notebook LM uh with their video generations, they've always had the video generations, which are really, really good, by the way. But they upgraded um using their uh you know, VO or I guess now omni technology, uh, you know, this cinematic level of video.

So think uh the normal video overviews, great. Um, you know, but there's really not that cinematic feel. So this is the cinematic feel of the videos, but just short 60 second verticals. So obviously made for learning on the go.

So I am someone I am not like on any kind of vertical video social media. I don't do it, I I refuse to. That's why, like when I'm looking at this, it's like I almost don't want to, but I've wanted something like this for a very long time. So I might actually uh finally be a short form vertical video uh consumer.

So who has access right now? If you are a paid user, you should have access. So they did already start the rollout. I think I got access to this on some of my pit accounts, but not all of my pit accounts uh on Gemini.

So if you are a Gemini paid user, it should you either have it now or it should be rolling out. Uh so it is starting with users in English, uh, and then it is rolling out to others in the coming weeks. So mobile and non-English rollout status isn't confirmed yet. Uh so why is it useful?

Well, it turns all your long source material inside of Notebook LM into these really cinematic, fun, and engaging uh you know, short 60-second videos. So um, notebook LM, I cannot stop gushing about it, right? As much as I as I love Codex, as much as I, you know, use Claude Desktop and all these other programs, notebook LM is still one of my go-to's, right? One of my most used skills inside of Codex is having it make notebook LM generations for me.

So I can just wake up, open the app on my phone. If I'm out touching grass, taking a walk, I have literally so many uh, you know, usually uh audio uh audio overviews, but sometimes video overviews as well. Just bespoke with all the most pinpoint specific information I need to know uh for my day to learn different things. So it's great.

So who's gonna find this valuable? I think any obviously notebook online power user, if you're an educator, a student, a student of life, if you're trying to learn something new, uh this is great. But also, this is good content if for social teams. So if you're a marketer, uh, I mean, these cinematic videos are amazing.

I'm actually surprised when they were first announced, they didn't like go more viral than they actually did. I think one of the reasons, uh, you know, which is a rollout strategy I've never quite understood, um, is they limited this to ultra subscribers when cinematic videos first rolled out. So this is cool that the 60 second versions, if you are on a normal paid Gemini plan, uh, you should have access to this. All right, let's keep it going.

Uh, yeah, now you have a new financial assistant in your pocket. So our next Friday feature on Thursday is the ChatGPT finance app uh that has now rolled out to plus users. Yeah. Speaking of that rollout strategy, same thing here.

This is technically something that came out to pro users on the $200 a month plan a couple of weeks ago. I don't think we really covered it much because I tend to not cover things if they're only on that, you know, pricey $200 tier. I try to stick to things that are just on the base paid plans because I think that's what the overwhelming majority of you know our listeners uh are on. So uh, what is the Chat GPT finance?

So this is built into Chat GPT and it's OpenAI's personal finance feature that connects your bank and investment accounts via plaid, and then you can ask finance questions grounded in real account data. Uh so this was originally launched, like I said, mid-May, but it was pro only. But now it is available in live to anyone if you are on that $20 a month plan. You've got it now in the US.

So uh the original Pro launch covered uh web and iOS. Uh, I'm not sure if Android is out, so yeah, make sure to check in the newsletter for that and we'll let you know. Uh, so uh it is US only, like I said, and here's why I think it's useful. Well, you can just make your financial use of Chat GPT way faster and way more personalized.

A couple of things to keep in mind because I probably hear what a lot of people are saying. Oh my gosh, I would never connect my financial data to any AI assistant, any AI account, right? So it's connected through Plaid, and Plaid is one of the most trusted uh, you know, names in finance around. Um, so you it's not like you're signing up for an unknown uh you know platform or bringing in, you know, if let's just say you have a couple of retirement accounts, a couple of bank accounts, a couple credit cards.

It's not like you're bringing in, you know, five, six, seven, twelve uh separate entities into Chat GBT and giving them all different permissions and you have to monitor them all. It's not like that, it just connects through plaid. So it's already coming in through a trusted name. Um, you know, according to OpenAI, there's you know data they just can't see, right?

They can't see your full account numbers. There is no right access. That's the big thing, right? So it's not gonna make any changes.

So it can only read the information, it doesn't know your full account access, and it is all secure through Plaid. Uh, so here is what OpenAI said about it. They said today we're releasing, and this is from uh, you know, the original release, but they said today we're releasing a preview of a new personal finance experience in Chat GPT to pro users, now out to everyone. Uh, now you can securely connect your financial accounts, see a dashboard of where your money is going, and ask chat GPT questions grounded in your financial context, all while staying in control of your data.

Um, so they say money, uh money touches nearly every part of life, where we live, what decisions we make, how we care for our loved ones, what future we might imagine. But managing finances today often means piecing together accounts, apps, cards, loans, and spreadsheets just to know where things stand. Uh, then they say, with your financial apps uh accounts connected, ChatGPT can combine that reasoning with your financial, with your real financial context and what you've shared about your goals, lifestyle, and priorities, helping you spot patterns, understand trade-offs, and plan for big decisions in a way that feels more personal and complete.

Uh, so yeah, whether you're trying to uh plan you know goals on your spending, uh travel spend analysis, your spending insights, scenario planning, investment risk, subscription reviews, whatever it is. Uh so anything that you do give Chad GPT access to inside of PLAD, it can pull all of that information in. So not only can you interact with all of your finances in natural language, which is a big cheat code in and of itself, right? Because a lot of these uh applications do not have, I mean, many of them do, but not all of them have reasoning AI, right?

You might be able to pull a certain number and ask it, you know, what was my balance last month in this account, right? But many of them do not have AI that can reason over all of this data. So not only that, the ability to have a powerful reasoning model like GPT 5.5, but also that it can marry all of your other context, right?

So your memory inside of ChatGPT and your chat history. So when you can throw those things, those three things together, a reasoning model, well, four things, uh, you know, uh a reasoning model, uh, you know, your um bank accounts, your uh, you know, all your financial uh accounts, then your chat history, memory. That's that's a huge unlock. So who's gonna find this valuable?

Well, I mean, I think this is big consumer play, uh, right. If if you've ever been a user of like a mint uh.com, right? There's these popular uh you know personal finance apps, but like let me just call it out.

A lot of them cost money, right? I think that open AI is going to start winning and retaining a lot of consumer users just by replacing other subscriptions that people just used to pay for. You know, as an example, I used to pay for mint, and then it got to the point I'm like, you know, why am I still paying for this? Uh, you know, and now it's like, okay, well, this is going to be included in my subscription, anyways.

And it does bring in all of the other personal context that you know ChatGPT has on me, which I'm gonna love. All right, our next one. This one might sound small, but I want you to think about what it unlocks, especially if you are a power uh Twitter user like me, right? This is where I get a lot of my you know AI information.

I follow the discourse of what's happening, you know, online, you know, in the AI space, mainly on Twitter, because that's where a lot of people are conversing about these things. So X, formerly known as Twitter, I still call it Twitter, uh, launched their official MCP model context protocol server, letting all different AI tools connect directly to the X API. Uh, so this is big. So this is live right now.

So, you know, whether you want to uh you know go through Twitter if you have a bajillion bookmarks like I do now, uh you you do have to load money uh into the uh into the X account. So this isn't something that's free, but it looks extremely affordable and cheap. Uh, and I'm gonna tell you the uh the reason why I think that. So you do have to, you know, go through that step.

So it's like, oh bummer, you know, you might spend a couple dollars a month if you're a heavy uh user. So you do have to go through, sign up for the X developer portal, uh, you know, go through all that hoops and all that. But then at that point, I mean, whether you're a Claude user, cursor, you know, if you're one of the 10 people using GrocBuild, you know, Codecs, whatever, you know, anywhere that MCPs are supported, which is essentially everywhere, you can now scroll X and grab important information uh from there.

So here is um what was said in a tech crunch article on this. So it says this allows developers to save time spent on integration work to focus on whatever they're actually building. So, yeah, obviously, if you're trying to build something, this is helpful as well. So it says developers have long been able to search X, read posts, look up users, analyze conversations and trends, and do more using the platform's API.

The hosted MCP doesn't add new capabilities on that front, it just makes them easier to expose to AI applications. So by doing so, X can position itself as an information network filled with real-time data to retrieve and analyze rather than just a social hangout. So uh for me, this is big. So why is it useful?

Well, it removes the work that developers used to have to do themselves because you used to have to build a custom MCP server, host it, wire it to the X API, all that stuff. Now you can set up an MCP server in like a minute, right? You can literally just give the URL. Uh, you know, once you go through and sign up for the developer account and authorize it, you just give the URL.

to codecs or you know clawed code and it does it all for you. So if you're a develop, if if you're a developer, you know, uh you're gonna find this valuable. If you're building social listening tools, competitive monitoring, uh research tools, you know, security researchers, threat intelligence analysts, right? Essentially if you spend time for your job um on Twitter, right?

Following different conversations, what's happening in your industry, how are people reacting to certain things? And you are also a user of something like you know Claude on the desktop, uh Codex, etc. Bring those two things together. Uh I do spend a lot of time on Twitter every single day.

I'm bookmarking so many things. So this is one I'm actually excited for because I'll spend way less time on Twitter and I'm just gonna have Codex go through and do all those things for me. So pretty exciting one there. Speaking of things you can hand off to others, well now OpenClaw.

Yes, you can talk with your open claws without having to go onto Discord or Telegram or whatever it is. So yeah now your open claw is accessible on your phone. That's because OpenClaw the uh open source personal AI agent project launched its first official native mobile app for iOS and Android uh so it is free on the Apple App Store and Google Play. Uh you obviously FYI this is just a bridge this is a remote right so it's not like you can skip the whole open claw setup which can be a little cumbersome and you it is a lot of maintenance to keep it up and working I barely use open claw anymore because in my opinion codecs can do just about everything.

I even text my codecs uh so anyways uh but if you are a heavy open claw user whether it's personally or your organization uh I think this is a great new feature. Uh so uh so it is like I said it's not a standalone it's just a companion node that pairs with your posted open claw gateway wherever that is right so most people are using an actual dedicated machine or if you're using a cloud server whatever it is and pairing uh it's pretty easy it's just a QR code and then you set it up once and then the gateway is running so uh this is great because then you can monitor your open claw activities without having to sit down in front of a computer or you know I think what a lot of people were doing is they would just download like you know Discord and then hook it up through Discord or all these other you know third party messaging platforms.

So now you don't have to do this anymore and you have a dedicated app that can do that for you. So who's going to find this valuable? Well like I said if you're already an open claw user or if you were on the open claw fence and one of the biggest setbacks is well you wanted a way to be able to uh you know check in on something locally because that's the reality right open claw is great and the fact that you can say oh I have a you know computer running somewhere 247 right like I do a lot of my work in my home office but I have an actual office in Chicago as well and that's where I had my open claw and if I'm being honest I'm like well if I'm only in the office once or twice a week it's like do I really want to be you know going in and you know using Discord which I don't really use anymore right since Midjourney no longer required it like a year or so ago I don't really use Discord.

So it's like do I want to be using another app just to be messaging uh you know it's another communication channel that I just didn't want to take on so maybe this might you know get me to uh you know re-engage my open claw probably not because I'm plenty happy right now with codex um and with claude code but if this is something that you want to see more coverage on let me know in the comments and maybe we'll do something a little more dedicated. Uh and the thing that a lot of people are wondering is like how the heck did this make it onto the Apple App Store uh because they are extremely strict on allowing anything agentic.

But the reason why is because well none of this is actually stored on your iPhone. The iPhone is just a bridge and all of the data lives on your actual machine so yeah no uh according to uh open claw and a lot of the reporting uh you know none of the data actually lives on your phone so it is literally just a bridge or remote control to see what's going on and to be able to communicate with your claws in real time. All right two more and we'll make these ones quick even though they're bigger ones.

All right next we have Cursor released an iOS app. Yeah like I said the phones were getting all the love this week. So here's what's new Cursor launched its first native iPhone and iPad app in public beta and it is available now. So this lets developers launch and monitor AI coding agents from their phone uh as well as their new popular always on cloud agents or just remote control of agents already running on their new computer.

So who has access well it's live now it's in public beta on the app store and it is gated right now obviously to paid cursor plan. So you have to have a paid cursor plan for this to work. So why is it useful? Well you can kick off or check agent work without keeping your laptop open uh right so no more walking around with your laptop half ajar like I used to do back in February uh with uh codex uh so now you can just have it all running from your phone uh so this uses the iOS live activities and push notifications so you're pulled back in when you want to when an agent finish hits a blocker or if it has a PR ready.

It does also support voice input screenshot annotation uh as well as full diff review and PR merge from your phone. So here's who I think is going to find it useful and valuable. I think software engineers obviously teams who are already using cursor uh if you're an on-call person who needs to triage or fix issues away from your primary machine if you want to go outside and touch grass right or teams wanting a lightweight way uh to review and merge AI generated PRs without being at the desk.

Uh so here is what cursor says cursor in their blog post said cursor is now available as a native iOS app in public beta so you can build from anywhere. Until now developers have worked around the limits of their local machines keeping laptops half open and caffeinated everywhere they go yeah that one's fun because there's obviously a popular program called caffeine that keeps your uh laptop awake even when it's closed that's the joke there uh with cursor for iOS you can launch always on agents in the cloud or control agents running on your computer from your phone kick them off when ideas strike get notified when work is ready for review and merge PRs on the go.

Whether your agents are running on your machine or in the cloud you can move work forward from wherever you are so this really thrusts cursor I think into serious consideration in the super app race right I think we're gonna be talking about the super apps a lot more come like September uh we should be hearing from openai any day on their super app. Uh you know Microsoft you know alluded to their super app at the build conference in San Francisco a few weeks ago uh so yes cursor I think uh between the uh SpaceX XAI acquisition so the fact that they essentially have like unlimited compute now number one the fact that their last model they made composer 2.

5 was actually really good and cost efficient so you throw in those two things with now uh I think they have a top two harness next to codecs so the combination of a very good desktop app and now maybe the best iOS control pane right uh chet inside of Chad GPT has a great remote control for codecs but I think the cursor might be a little bit ahead mainly because you can start um you know new threads then pick them up on your computer start new cloud agents so there are a couple of dedicated uh a couple of uh small advantages right now I would say that cursor has over codecs slash chat gbt when it comes to managing your local machine uh from your phone all right and then last but not least the technically the biggest story of I don't know the last month or so well anthropics Fable 5 is back yay right probably not all right so uh I would say the overwhelming majority of our listeners are people who are on subscriptions so don't get too excited on this because it's gonna be gone in like a hundred hours uh and then you're gonna have to pay for it out of pocket.

So uh but we've covered uh Fable five plenty but let me just give you the update and well you can use it now and you absolutely should uh because it is going to be gone in about five days uh so you should be using your entire week limits uh immediately to see if this is something that you are going to pay those actual bills for uh so here is the newest update so uh it said as of today June 30th the export controls on Fable 5 and Mythos 5 have been listed uh fable five will be available starting tomorrow so this was from yesterday's uh no yeah yesterday's blog post uh so available no two days ago uh it said fable five will be available starting Wednesday july 1st to users globally on the Claude platform claude.

ai claud code and claude co-work uh and then it says for pro max team and select enterprise plans fable five will be included for up to 50% of weekly usage limits through July 7th after which it will be available via usage credits. All right and yeah so uh essentially here let me just tell you what happened um right there's all this this drama that's been going on for the last two and a half weeks uh you know mytho uh anthropic has been hyping uh you know mythos and the project glasswing project since April saying it was a bioweapon you know essentially begging the federal government uh to um you know control ai they said we need to pause AI uh so they got what they wanted uh you know and now frontier models are going through a delayed process to essentially get approved from the government uh right openai had a limited rollout of their GPT 5.

6 uh new models that are only available to trusted partners right now uh so that's what started with mythos uh and fable five so fable five is essentially mythos five with added guardrails uh so we got it for three days it was pulled for two weeks now it's back but for the majority of our listeners if you're on a clawed subscription plan you're only going to have it for about five days so that's a big bummer uh and there's essentially this thing called classifiers um and this is something that they put in guardrails uh to satisfy some of the US government's requests uh that this wouldn't be used in nefarious ways right um but they are extremely overbearing right anthropic even said uh in their post to their credit uh that the uh these are gonna take a bunch of uh prompts to Fable and they're gonna say nope you can't do it and they're gonna send it to Opus 4.

8 uh so so far it seems like a lot of people are sour on Fable five I'll say just use it for what you can use it while it's there um and see if it's gonna be worth the price of admission. All right so for just uh comparison here let me just throw out a a number so yes I'm a heavy ish AI user uh right so inside of codex um I use about two and a half billion tokens a week so we'll say that's about 10 billion tokens a month okay and there's people who use way more right because I'm not a coder yes I'm building projects I have automations and loops and all that good stuff right but I there's plenty of people in your organization that you're listening to who go through way more than 10 billion tokens.

So if I'm paying for that via Fable five right I'm paying $200 a month to do my you know roughly 10 billion tokens uh like I said give or take um on codecs GPT 5.5 high if I'm paying for that on Fable because in five days that's the only way you can use it that's roughly depending on the blend of you know input output it's about $200,000 uh a month are people gonna pay that yes is everyone gonna pay that probably not so like I said I think you're gonna have to get used to uh the new sonnet five model which I really like uh I'm sure that we'll see an Opus five model pretty soon but go play with opus you know for large organizations you know that have monopoly money uh maybe Fable 5 is something you'll be able to use in the long run but I think for most people go have fun with it you got five days see what happens all right so that is a wrap on our AI features on Friday on Thursday uh I hope this one was helpful as a quick rundown here's what it is Claude Sonnet 5 is out it's good I like it notebook LM short video overviews uh cinematic brain rot that helps you learn not actually brain rot it's really good then you have the new chat GPT finance for all plus users you have the X slash Twitter hosted MCP server uh so essentially I would have my uh agents doing computer use for that which took way too long and a lot of tokens uh so maybe my token count's gonna go down uh then we had open claw coming out with apps for iOS and Android uh cursor coming out with their iOS app and then last but not least Claude Fable 5 is back but not for long.

All right if this was helpful do me a favor click that subscribe or follow button on Apple Podcast Spotify I'd appreciate that make sure you go to your everydayai.com as a reminder the show and the newsletter will be off tomorrow. Happy early 4th of July yeah we have the uh observed holiday this Friday so I'll see you back Monday thanks for tuning in we'll see you back then and every day for more everyday AI.
