[AINews] The Field Guide to Fable
a quiet day lets us digest the world's most significant model launch... to date.
Building a World Map with only 500 bytes
Building a World Map with only 500 bytes Iwo Kadziela (assisted by Codex) figured out a way to generate a credible ASCII world map using 445 bytes of data: The key trick is to use deflate compression, which is then wired together using this neat snippet of JavaScript. I didn't know you could use fetch() with data: URIs like this: fetch('data:;base64,1ZpLsgIxCEXnrM...==').then( r => r.body.pipeThrough(new DecompressionStream('deflate-raw')) ).then( s => new Response(s).text() ).then( t => b.innerHTML = ' ' + t ) Via Hacker News Tags: ascii-art , data-urls , javascript
The only AI glossary you’ll need this year
The rise of AI has brought an avalanche of new terms and slang. Here is a glossary with definitions of some of the most important words and phrases you might encounter.
Fable's judgement
One of the most interesting tips I got from the Fireside Chat I hosted with Cat Wu and Thariq Shihipar from the Claude Code team at AIE on Wednesday was to let Fable (and to a certain extent Opus) use their own judgement rather than dictating how they should work. The example they gave was testing. You can tell Fable "only use automated testing for larger features, don't update and run tests for small copy or design changes" - but it's better to just tell Fable to use its own judgement when deciding to write tests instead. Jesse Vincent just gave me a related tip to help avoid burning too many of those valuable Fable tokens in the few days we have left before the prices go up. Tell Fable to use other models for smaller tasks, applying its own judgement about which model to use. I prompted Claude Code just now with: For all coding tasks use your judgement to decide an appropriate lower power model and run that in a subagent Claude saved this memory file in ~/.claude/projects/name-of-project/memory/delegate-coding-to-subagents.md : --- name: delegate-coding-to-subagents description: Simon wants coding tasks delegated to subagents running an appropriately lower-power model metadata: node_type: memory type: feedback originSessionId: 30068d78-43a9-4fb1-bb29-9799e18c526a --- Stated by Simon on 2026-07-03: "For all coding tasks use your judgement to decide an appropriate lower power model and run that in a subagent." Why: cost/efficiency — implementation work rarely needs the top-tier model; judgment, review, and synthesis stay with the main loop. How to apply: when a task in this project is primarily writing/editing code, spawn an Agent with a model override (sonnet for substantive implementation, haiku for trivial/mechanical edits) and a self-contained prompt; review the result in the main loop before committing. Design, auditing, data synthesis, and anything judgment-heavy stays in the main model. See also [[project-goals]]. So far it seems to be working well. I'm getti

Porting the Moebius 0.2B image inpainting model to run in the browser with Claude Code
This morning on Hacker News I saw Moebius: 0.2B Lightweight Image Inpainting Framework with 10B-Level Performance , describing a small but effective inpainting model - a model where you can mark regions of an image to remove and the model imagines what should fill the space. The released model required PyTorch and NVIDIA CUDA , but since it described itself as 0.2B I decided to try and get it running using WebGPU in a browser. TL;DR: I got it working, and you can try the demo at simonw.github.io/moebius-web/ . Read on for the details. The finished tool Here's a video demo of the finished tool: You can open any image in it (non-square images get letterboxed), highlight areas to remove, click the "Run inpaint" button and wait for the model to do its magic. A parallel agent side-project My main project for today was landing a major feature in Datasette: a UI for creating and altering tables, as a follow-up to the insert and edit rows feature I released last week. I was working on that in Codex Desktop (here's the PR ) and often found myself spending 5-10 minutes spinning my fingers waiting for it to complete a mid-sized refactor or add the finishing touches to a change to the UI. (An amusing thing about coding agents is that the harder a problem is the more time you have to get distracted while you wait for them to finish crunching!) So I decided to spin up Claude Code in a terminal window and see how far I could get at porting Moebius to the web. Some agentic research to kick off the project My first step was to ask regular Claude about the feasibility of this project. In Claude.ai , which has the ability to clone repos from GitHub: Clone https://github.com/hustvl/Moebius/ and tell me if they published the code and weights to run this model anywhere (I hadn't spotted the link to the weights yet, that's tucked away in the "News" section.) Then: For Moebius what are the options for running it right now - Python and NVIDIA CUDA only or other options too? And: Muse on the
