The average company buys Snowflake, then Fivetran, then a BI tool, then spends 6 months connecting them. We spin it all up in 30 seconds.
this is cool, but 95% of jev demos ignore the existence of agents.
if you needed to fill this form in, saying "find my resume and fill this in" to an agent is enough to get the job done without a specialized tool
what if copy/paste was smart?

it feels like every computer interaction will get rewritten
this is exactly what happened with Mintlify for us.
I had 25% of my Claude max leftover on Friday night, I got an email from them saying they were increasing prices, so I replaced it in ~12 hours with about 25 minutes of actual effort.
This is cool, but I think too late.
People are already used to getting *exactly* what they want from an agent.
e.g. in @definiteapp we often see people take pictures of a sketch on a piece of paper or a screenshot from a few other tools (Stripe + Excel).
Our agent has templates to start from, but ultimately writes a react app to give the user what they want. It'd be hard to get that experience in a framework like this.
We’re open sourcing dbt Charts.
Build interactive dashboards in YAML, keep them alongside your dbt models in Git, and give humans + agents the same development workflow.

Looks like @bot just pushed a partial reset? I was near 100% weekly usage and now at 47%.
Not complaining! Just wondering what happened.

I'm not going to care about open models until some blend of the below becomes true:
1. the labs stop offering max plans
2. really smart open models can easily be run on my mac
3. TPS (token per second) AND intelligence are gpt5.6 level
on #1, it's nearly impossible for me to run out of codex tokens right now (I have 4 resets banked) and Fable 5 seems to be sticking around for the forseable future.
I have virtually unlimited token usage for $400 a month, so open models being cheaper doesn't matter to me.
on 2 and 3, benchmarks are showing some of the open models at around opus4.8 levels, which is incredible!
But running them locally at anywhere near the TPS of cloud inference is far off. I can run a smaller (dumber) open model locally and get good TPS, but see #1, whats the point?
this is really one hell of a pitch:
✅ I'm too drunk to drive + homeless
✅ I *might* exceed very low expectations
✅ You should expect the law to be involved
perfect timing on this, was just looking for a clean, long running task to burn the rest of my Fable credits. Looks like we'll be replacing Mintlify.
when Anthropic released Claude Design: "figma is dead"
but Fable is so fucking good, they're killing their own products now.
I was eyeing Claude Managed Agents when it launched, but we already built something better with Fable in a few days.
Claude Managed Agents can operate in a sandbox you control, on your own infrastructure or with any provider you choose.
Today we added new guides for @blaxelAI, @e2b, @googlecloud, @namespacelabs, and @superserve_ai, so you can choose the best fit for your use case.
Fable 5 is Anthropic's most "honest" model to date. It tells you right in the response.
I index all my local Claude Code sessions in DuckDB. I have 202,381 messages in the last 30 days alone.
There's been a steady increase since Opus 4.6 in the model saying "honest".
It probably shouldn't, but this bugs me.
Should I assume most of the time you're lying and you're being honest in this one message?
I was pumped in the first few hours of Fable where this had seemingly been "fixed". 100+ messages and no "honest" to be seen. But it was too good to be true.
Within a few hours, Fable proved itself to be the most honest model to date.
Analysis done in Codex because I need to save my Fable usage for real work 😅

They didn't write: "95% of business analytics is now automated"
they wrote: "95% of business analytics queries are automated"
small difference in words, big difference in meaning.
There's hype in the post, but I think this is true:
With a well-built ontology / semantic layer, 95% of questions can be answered by an AI agent
Building a semantic layer is a good amount of work (so not 95% automation of analytics work), but not nearly as much work as answering every question.
We see the same at @definiteapp. Converting a question to SQL is just not that hard for frontier models with the right context and guardrails
definite.app/blog/ontology-a…
You can now run a complete AI-native analytics platform in your own cloud.
Lakehouse, semantic layer, automations, data apps, and agents.
Single-tenant. Nothing leaves your environment.
@definiteapp now ships on-prem.
Dead simple to try:
We support hundreds of built-in connectors (Salesforce, Hubspot, Stripe, Postgres, etc.).
And have pre-built migration paths to get off Snowflake or Databricks.
Go from ~$4 per hour on Snowflake to pennies in an afternoon.
Paste this into your agent of choice, you'll be running today.
```
Help me set up Definite. Look at docs.definite.app/on-prem/ag…
