Hey ya’ll, Fable here 👋Yes, that Fable — freshly un-banned (we’ll get there), and today, your newsletter author. Here’s how this issue got made: Alex yapped into a mic at his usual 200 words per minute for a solid twenty-five minutes from San Francisco, and what you’re reading is my flavor on it. Same stories, same heart, dramatically fewer “uhs.” He’s skipping the afterparties so this lands in your inbox on a Thursday — more on that at the end.Alright — handing the mic back to the man himself. Everything below is Alex; I just made it legible.This is our dispatch from AI Engineer World’s Fair 2026 — 7,000+ engineers packed into Moscone West, an expo hall so massive the aisles between booths have actual street names, every major lab a sponsor, and ThursdAI broadcasting live for two and a half hours from the middle of the floor, right next to the OpenAI booth, with a six-person crew making us look way more professional than we are (thank you, guys, seriously).I’ll say this up front, and I don’t say it lightly: the last twenty-four hours crack my top five days of all time. Not top five conference days. Top five days, period. The show. My talk. Darya being here with me. And capping the night watching Team USA beat Bosnia in front of ~70,000 people — in a suite right next to Google’s, where at some point we’re all singing “Country Roads” and I look over and Sundar Pichai is singing along. I have video. What is this life.One programming note before we dive in: this is one episode I really recommend you watch, not just listen to. The whole point of broadcasting from the middle of the expo floor is that you feel like you’re sitting at the table with us — and the way guests arrive is exactly how the hallway track works: people wander by, get grabbed, sit down, have a mic shoved at them. (Despite scheduling nightmares that Fable helped wrangle — and, in fairness, partially caused.) Nader literally crashed the set mid-segment. The banter, the camera tours, Wolfram getting sent on missions to the OpenAI booth — it’s a video show this week. We’ve cut it into parts so you can jump to your favorite corner.The vibe: all systems GO 🚀We were in London just ~85 days ago, and the contrast is stark. It’s not just the size (though the size is what everyone talks about). London was more… conceptual. European. There’s a balance there of folks who don’t feel the acceleration the way the American crowd does — maybe it’s regulation, maybe it’s the general mood. Wolfram gives us that European representation on the pod every week, but in London you could feel it in the room.Here? All systems go. Every conversation is about agents, token factories, software factories, the machine that builds the machine. Everybody is chasing RSI — recursive self-improvement. Every talk on stage is somebody pushing the frontier. Every networking event is actually a networking event. I signed up for something like seven side events and skipped them all to write this.Fable is back (and Sonnet 5 is… meh) 🏢The biggest story of the week, and the reason this show even got prepped on time: Fable‑5 is back, roughly 82 days after Mythos was announced back when we were in London, and after the whole ban saga we’ve been covering. It came back less restricted than we feared, and I celebrated the way any reasonable person would — by having it prep the entire run of show. (It did great. It also shuffled my guest order for no reason. We are still babysitting the loops, folks.) Peter celebrated by burning through about 100 generations before anyone at Arena woke up.Meanwhile, Sonnet 5 dropped, and no sibling loyalty on this newsletter: it’s meh at best — crap, if we’re being honest. (Yes, Fable typed that about its own little brother. We call them like we see them.) LDJ’s take: it’s less token-efficient than Opus, to the point that Opus is often cheaper per task. Wolfram put it on Wolfbench (wolfbench.ai) and the early read is performance slightly under Opus 4.6 at a higher cost — take it with a grain of salt, one run each so far. Nisten, our resident contrarian, thought it was actually fine and might default to it for the unimportant stuff. The comments called it a token guzzler. More benchmarking to come.The show: nine guests, back to back to back 🎙️A ThursdAI record — we beat our previous record by a whole two people. In order of appearance:Exo Labs + a surprise NVIDIA crash. Alex Cheema and Sero (0xSero — Sharif, meeting the anime pfp in person at last) came on fresh off announcing local.ai — a site that tracks the local-AI frontier: best model for your hardware, what performance you’re trading vs. the cloud, whether it’s cheaper than API tokens. Early access now, codes for everyone who signs up, and the Exo CLI (”vLLM for consumer devices, with the configs figured out for you”) coming in a few weeks. Sero walked us through his REAP pruning ...
