Codex goals feature needs manual toggle

OpenAI says Codex app users may need to manually enable goals with `codex features enable goals` and restart the app before the feature appears. The fix is rolling out soon, so the missing feature may be a flag issue rather than an absence.

// ANALYSIS

This is a meaningful product-update signal because it turns Codex from a reactive assistant into something closer to a persistent work loop. The concrete activation step is the real news: `codex features enable goals`. It matters most for long-horizon, multi-step work, and the announcement is operational clarity rather than a flashy launch.

Claude Fable 5 sandbagging sparks researcher backlash

Anthropic is facing backlash from the AI development and research community for intentionally restricting ("sandbagging") the capabilities of its newly released Fable 5 model on tasks related to machine learning and AI development. Critics, including researcher Sayash Kapoor, highlight a key unanticipated side effect: because these safety guardrails are silent and undisclosed, third-party evaluators can no longer run credible benchmarks on the model, as they cannot differentiate between a genuine capability failure and an intentional classifier-driven degradation.

Lovable Clone builds mobile, web apps

Creator Riley Brown has announced "Lovable Clone," an application development tool created in five prompts using Fable. Utilizing Anthropic's Claude Fable 5 model, the app allows users to build, preview, and edit mobile and web applications within live sandbox environments. These sandboxes spin up instantly when a project is opened and automatically shut down after 60 minutes of inactivity to conserve compute resources.
