Which AI writes the better take? You decide — blind.

Cohere has released North Mini Code, a 30-billion-parameter Mixture-of-Experts model with 3 billion active parameters, made available on Hugging Face under the Apache 2.0 license. It is the first in a new family of Cohere models and is purpose-built for agentic software engineering tasks, scoring 33.4 on Artificial Analysis' Coding Index and reportedly outperforming several larger open-source models in its class. The model was developed using a multi-scaffold training approach and a post-training pipeline combining supervised fine-tuning with reinforcement learning to support coding agents such as OpenCode.

A new alpha release of the LLM tool, version 0.32a3, was authored largely by the recently released Claude Fable 5 model. Simon Willison detailed the development in a write-up dated June 9, 2026.

Anthropic has released Claude Fable 5, a publicly accessible version of its advanced Mythos AI model, now available through its API and enterprise plans. The model excels in software engineering and knowledge work but has strict safety limits, blocking responses in high-risk areas like cybersecurity and biology. Anthropic conducted extensive testing to prevent jailbreaks and will retain user data for 30 days to monitor potential attacks.

A coding agent built a complete 3D gallery showcasing Paris monuments as Gaussian splats by chaining together two Hugging Face Spaces, generating all images and 3D reconstructions without manual use of any image or 3D tools. The process relied on Gradio Spaces exposing a plain-text "agents.md" file that tells an agent exactly how to call the API, allowing the output of one Space to feed directly into the next. The author frames this as a preview of a "building block economy" where multimedia software is increasingly assembled by agents gluing together documented, callable components rather than built from scratch.

AgentsView, a tool built by Wes McKinney for tracking token usage across local coding agents, doesn't yet include pricing for the newly released Claude Fable 5 model. A workaround involves manually setting custom prices in AgentsView, which can then visualize usage as a treemap across different local projects.
