Claude Fable 5.1 now available on AI Gateway

is now available on AI Gateway.Claude Fable 5.1 from Anthropic Fable 5.1 improvements compared to previous Claude models are concentrated in long, multi-stage work like agentic coding, knowledge work, and research that takes several rounds of searching and following up. Anthropic ships Fable 5.1 with cybersecurity and biology safety classifiers enabled. Finding vulnerabilities in source code is allowed, but some routine coding and debugging may still be refused. To ensure requests are still serv

What is a Neki router?

The core challenge in operating a sharded database is deciding which shard(s) should execute a query. Each query passes through two plans. The Neki router builds the first plan using the data topology to decide which shard(s) receive the work and how results from multiple shards should be handled. Postgres then builds the plan you already know how to read, which decides how each selected shard executes its work. A fleet of routers One of Postgres's fundamental scaling constraints is its process-

Building Camrade

Camrade is a voice-first photo studio. You talk to it about the photograph in front of you, it reads the frame, edits it, and learns your photography style. This is not a tour of how Camrade works but about the failures, because almost every decision worth describing came out of one, and the worst of them were completely silent. Early on, Argus told me about a wine bottle. There was no wine bottle. I had given the voice model a system instruction that amounted to "say what you see." What I had n
