Happy Wednesday,
Claude just dropped Fable 5.2, the new #1 AI model in the world, so today I'm breaking down what it can actually do, how I've been using it and when you should (and shouldn't) use it, plus a way to make AI videos with it for free. Then I'm showing you how to get ChatGPT to handle all of your life admin, and Claude's brand new Whiteboards.
Let's get into it.

🚨 THIS IS BIG
Claude Just Dropped the #1 AI Model in the World
Claude just dropped Fable 5.2, and it's now the #1 AI model in the world. It took the top spot on Artificial Analysis, an independent leaderboard that tests every major AI model, and it beat Claude's own Opus 5.5 on almost every test Anthropic ran.
There are actually two new models. Mythos 5.2 is the same model with fewer restrictions, and Anthropic only lets vetted cybersecurity and medical research teams use it. Fable 5.2 is the one you and I get.
And the stuff it did in testing is kind of insane:
+ Built a working computer operating system from an empty folder |
+ Solved two unsolved problems in black hole physics |
+ Designed three working gadgets from a one-paragraph prompt |
+ Controlled real robots well enough to solve a puzzle cube |
|
What gets me is the operating system. It coordinated over 1,000 AI helpers for eight days straight, writing, testing and reviewing code, and the end result actually boots on a laptop, with a login screen, an installer and Claude built in.
I've been using Fable 5.2 for the last 24 hours to edit my videos, and it's absolutely incredible. The next videos you see on my page will be edited by Fable 5.2, and I'm really impressed with what it can do.
It's the first model where I barely have to explain myself, because it just gets what I'm going for. It pushes back when an idea isn't good instead of agreeing with everything. And it doesn't stop at "good enough." It keeps going, checking its own work, until the job is actually done.
But you shouldn't use Fable 5.2 for everything. Even Anthropic says to start with Opus 5.5 for most tasks and only switch up to Fable for the hardest work. Fable thinks a little slower, and it eats through your Claude usage way faster than other models.
So here's my rule. Use Opus 5.5 for your everyday stuff, like emails, questions and writing. Switch to Fable 5.2 for big, messy projects, especially when you don't know exactly what the finished thing should look like yet, like building an app, editing a video or turning a rough idea into a full business plan.
To use it, just pick Fable 5.2 in the model picker under the message box. It's on every paid plan, and this is the week to try it. If you're on Pro, Fable is included in your plan through Monday, November 16 (up to half your weekly usage), plus a free reset if you were already subscribed. After that, it goes back to running on pay-as-you-go credits. On Max and Ultra, it's always included, and you're getting one to three free resets depending on how long you've subscribed. You'll find them in Settings → Usage.

So you can make cinematic movie scenes, commercials and even UGC-style ads that look like a real customer filmed them, just by talking to Claude.
Step 1: Sign up for a new Higgsfield account through this link. The free offer is only for new accounts.
Step 2: On that same page, click Add Higgsfield to Claude and connect it.
Step 3: Pick Fable 5.2, upload a photo of any product and say:
Make me a UGC ad for this product. |
And for your first three days, it won't cost you a single credit.

💡 TRY THIS
ChatGPT Handles All Your Life Admin
Here's how to get ChatGPT to handle all of your life admin for you. Your taxes, your bills, your subscriptions, all the boring stuff that eats your weekend.
Step 1: In ChatGPT, click New project in the left sidebar and call it Life Admin. Drop in your last three months of bank and credit card statements, plus your phone, internet and insurance bills.
Step 2: Start a chat in the project and send this:
Using everything in this project, build me a full dashboard so I can sort every transaction into categories, show me what I'm spending each month, and flag anything that looks off. |
Step 3: In the same chat, send this:
Find every subscription I'm paying for, every bill that went up without telling me, and every one where I'm paying more than the new customer gets. |
This is where it gets good. It catches the bills that quietly went up on you and the subscriptions you forgot you even had. Before the next step, tell it what you actually use, like "keep Netflix and Spotify, cancel the rest."
Step 4: Here's the trick. Switch from Chat to Work at the top and say:
Cancel every subscription I don't use, write a message to each provider asking them to match the cheaper price, and add every bill's due date to my calendar with a reminder three days before. |
ChatGPT opens its own browser, cancels what you don't need and gets every negotiation ready to send. It asks you before anything involving money, and when a site needs your login, you sign in yourself. (Connect your calendar first in Settings → Plugins, and Work needs a paid plan.)
And here's the bonus prompt:
Schedule a task for the first of every month that updates my budget, flags any bills that went up, and tells me exactly where I could have saved. |
Now ChatGPT basically runs your entire life admin while you do nothing. And if you're in the US, you can also connect your bank with @Finances so the monthly check sees your new spending on its own.

🚨 AI UPDATE
Claude Just Got Its Own Whiteboard
Claude just launched Whiteboards, and if you're someone who thinks out loud, you're going to love this. You talk through a messy plan with Claude, and it turns it into a board with a timeline, owners and dates that you and your team can edit together in real time.
Say you're planning a launch, a trip or a family reunion. You just dump everything in your head, and Claude sorts it into a plan you can actually follow. In a team meeting, everyone can add their notes, and Claude groups them by theme and drafts the action items for each person. You can even drag a box around any part of the board and ask Claude about just that part. And when you're done, Claude can turn the whole board into a doc or a slide deck.
Here's how to try it.
Step 1: In Claude, click Artifacts in the left sidebar.
Step 2: Under Make something new, click Whiteboard.
Step 3: Dump everything in your head and send this:
Here's everything in my head about [YOUR PROJECT, LIKE "OPENING A COFFEE SHOP" OR "PLANNING OUR FAMILY REUNION"]: [YOUR BRAIN DUMP]. Turn this into a whiteboard with every task grouped by theme, a timeline, who owns what and the deadlines. Then tell me what I'm forgetting. |
Claude also launched Sheets, so you can ask it for a real spreadsheet with tabs, formulas and drop-downs, like a monthly budget or a tracker for your side hustle, and it edits the cells right in front of you. Both are in beta on every paid Claude plan, on the web, the desktop app and your phone. (If you're on a company Enterprise plan, your admin has to turn them on first.)
Between Docs, Slides and now Whiteboards and Sheets, Claude is slowly becoming the place where you do all your work, not just where you ask questions. I think that's exactly where all of this is heading.

If you're on Claude Pro, try Fable 5.2 before Monday while it's included in your plan, and give it the biggest, messiest project you've been putting off. And if your bills and subscriptions have been piling up, set up that Life Admin project in ChatGPT this weekend and see what it finds.
See you Sunday.
