Anthropic has unveiled Claude Fable 5.1 — and the new version took just 44 minutes to crack the Cyphral Distich, Thomas Urquhart's cipher that had been considered an unsolvable riddle for 373 years. The model, it's worth noting, was already available at claude.ai/new. In this experiment, it's a rare case: the answer came not after years of debate, but almost instantly. -

Meta introduced Muse Voice Transcribe on September 1, 2026, and the model is already available in the Meta AI Mac app. It is Meta's first real-time audio perception model.

AMD finally managed to bring FSR closer to DLSS in terms of image quality, but NVIDIA has already changed the very goal of this race. While FSR 4 focuses on image reconstruction, DLSS 5 uses AI to add new details, lighting, and materials on top of an already rendered frame. The cost of this approach is currently steep: on RTX 50 series cards, the tech can eat up to half your performance, and neither AMD nor Intel has a competing solution right now. -

Anthropic has released a new version of its neural network, Claude Fable 5.1.

In UFD Tech's tests, the base MacBook Neo's 8 GB of unified memory left macOS little room to breathe: the system compressed data first and then pushed the overflow to the SSD, all without giving the user a clear low-memory warning. The most striking result came in a three-hour work test: the 256 GB model wrote almost 900 GB of data to the SSD. UFD Tech also said the issue is especially worrying because the SSD is soldered to the board and cannot be replaced by the user. -

Pearl Abyss says the easiest way to try Crimson Desert right now is through a special Twitch page that opens in a PC browser and skips the install step. Pearl Abyss says the demo is not a full browser version of the game, but it does let players explore a small part of the open world and meet the main character, Cliff. The company has said a traditional demo was difficult to build because of the number of platforms involved. -
