White House Forces Anthropic to Pull Mythos & Fable 5 Worldwide in 90 MinutesThe script recounts how Anthropic’s private security-focused model Mythos and its public, guardrailed version Fable 5 were taken offline worldwide after the Trump administration ordered Anthropic to block all foreign nationals—including non-citizen staff—from using them, with one report saying the shutdown happened within 90 minutes. It describes a weekend escalation beginning with Fable 5’s public launch, an Amazon-discovered jailbreak reported by CEO Andy Jassy, and a White House “fix it or pull it” demand using export-control-style rules typically reserved for weapons. Reporting from Semaphore suggests unconfirmed White House concerns that a China-linked group may have accessed Mythos, raising fears of “distillation” to copy capabilities. The narrator frames this as evidence AI is now treated like critical power infrastructure and urges business owners to adopt practical, publicly available AI tools, promoting the AI Profit Boardroom.00:00 Mythos Shutdown Shock01:11 Timeline to Blackout02:07 Why Mythos Matters02:31 Distillation Explained03:39 Jailbreak and Standoff04:35 AI as National Power05:17 Business Gap Warning06:07 Boardroom Pitch and Fusion07:00 Three Issues Clarified07:58 Earlier Mythos Leak08:29 Weekend DC Negotiations08:44 Everyday AI Keeps Advancing09:23 Stop Waiting Start Using09:52 Final Takeaways and CTA11:04 Closing Thanks
Fable 5 Got Pulled in 72 Hours—Here’s the Better, Cheaper Replacement (Fusion 5)After Anthropic launched Fable 5 on June 9, 2026 and it was pulled worldwide three days later (along with MiFaS 5), the script argues you can still reach “Fable-level” performance using a new OpenRouter model called Fusion 5 for about half the price. Fusion uses a panel of 3–5 top models answering in parallel (examples include Opus, Gemini, Claude, Groq Build, and Gemini 3.5 Flash) with live web search, then a sixth “judge” model merges the results into one final answer. Side-by-side demos (glacial valley, voxel Minecraft world, isometric RPG, city block simulator, Hogwarts) claim Fusion is generally smoother, less buggy, and more detailed than Opus 4.8 alone. OpenRouter testing on 100 deep research tasks reportedly scored Fusion above Fable 5 and beat GPT 5.5 and Opus 4.8, though Fusion is slower and uses more tokens.00:00 Fable 5 Vanishes00:48 Fusion 5 Alternative01:24 What Happened Timeline01:43 Fusion Panel Explained02:25 Glacial Valley Demo03:41 Minecraft Voxel Test05:01 Isometric RPG Showdown06:10 City Block And Hogwarts08:32 Research Benchmarks Proof09:22 System Integration Pitch10:22 Best Use Cases11:31 Tradeoffs Speed Cost12:09 New Way To Build14:16 Final Steps And Wrap
Build Your Own AI Agent Operating System: Scheduling, QA Judges, Obsidian Memory & Team Workflows (Hermes, Claude, Paperclip)The video answers common questions about building an “agent operating system” where teams of AI agents collaborate using tools like Hermes, Claude, Obsidian, and Kanban boards. It explains how to give an agent long-term ownership of tasks (e.g., ongoing SEO) via scheduled cron jobs managed in one place, and recommends Claude over Hermes for heavier coding work while noting model/API choice affects performance. For quality control and reliable handoffs, it demonstrates adding a dedicated “judge” agent that critiques, scores output, and forces iteration until standards are met. It compares workflows across OpenClaw, Hermes (native Kanban for teams), and Paperclip (multi-tool, company-style orchestration), and argues that adding memory/context through Obsidian improves coordination and creates an auto-updated second brain. It also covers Windows options for an “infinite context engine,” and showcases a custom voice agent example, then directs viewers to the AI Profit Boardroom for the full setup and training.00:00 Agent OS Overview01:04 Long Running Tasks02:56 Coding Model Choices04:18 Quality Control Judge07:00 Benchmarking Free vs Paid07:48 Managing Agent Teams10:11 Obsidian Memory Vault11:19 Infinite Context Windows13:00 Voice Agent Showcase14:09 Community Setup Wrap Up
GLM 5.2 vs Claude Opus 4.8: I Ran 5 Build Tests (China Won 4) + The CatchThe video compares China’s new GLM 5.2 (by ZAI, released June 13, 2026) against Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.8 (released May 28) using the same five build prompts. GLM 5.2 produces better results in four tests—a running game, an Apple-style landing page, a liquid-sloshing animation, and a neon arcade game—while Claude wins the fifth test with a cleaner moving solar system map. The script highlights pricing differences (Claude’s per-token API costs vs GLM’s flat monthly coding plan) and argues the best approach is to run both: use GLM for cheap “building” tasks and Claude for deeper thinking inside a unified “agent operating system.” It notes key catches: no independent benchmarks yet, and GLM’s API/chatbot/open weights are coming next week.00:00 GLM vs Claude Setup01:28 Build Test 1 Runner Game02:01 Build Test 2 Landing Page02:26 Build Tests 3 and 4 Animations03:48 Test 5 and Price Shock04:54 Stop Picking Sides05:26 Agent OS Workflow07:01 The Catch and Missing Proof08:14 Agent OS Offer Break09:13 Daily Business Use Example11:13 Why Agents Beat Model Chasing12:28 Final Verdict Run Both
Build Your Own AI Operating System with Hermes Agent (Free Models, Memory, Video Pipelines & More)The video explains how to build an “AI operating system” using Hermes Agent to manage multiple AI workers (writing, editing, judging) in one place, swap in new models as they appear, and keep workflows like video creation, SEO, games, music, and lead gen organized and reusable. It contrasts this approach with Hermes Desktop (limited to Hermes and less visual) and n8n (more technical, messy, and break-prone), and shows examples like building games and fully edited videos using the Hyperframes skill plus optional HeyGen. It covers cost and token control via coding plans (e.g., Kimi, GLM 5.2), free OpenRouter APIs, OAuth logins, Headroom token reduction, and free models via News Portal. The system uses an Obsidian “second brain” for shared memory and context, includes voice features like Jarvis, supports VPS setups, and is distributed and updated via the AI Profit Boardroom community.00:00 Build Your AI OS00:48 Why Agent OS Wins02:18 Hermes Desktop Limits04:09 Custom UI Examples04:36 Cut Costs With Free07:24 Obsidian Memory Brain09:29 AI Video Factory11:45 n8n Versus Agent OS12:50 Safety And Guardrails13:34 Free Models Setup14:48 Jarvis Voice Control16:12 VPS And Updates17:10 Build One Workflow18:28 Model Swap Flexibility19:28 KimiCode Review20:32 Community Wins Showcase22:47 Markdown Token Saver23:05 Wrap Up And Next Steps
Fusion (OpenRouter) Lets You Combine Multiple Models to Reach Fable-Level Intelligence for LessThe script covers a new OpenRouter Fusion API update that runs a prompt across a parallel panel of up to eight models (with web search and bash tools), then uses a judge model to extract consensus, contradictions, unique insights, and missing coverage before returning one fused answer. Fusion is presented as a way to boost benchmark performance and reduce token costs versus relying on a single frontier model, with tests on 100 hard deep-research tasks showing much of the lift coming from synthesis rather than diversity. Examples compare solo models versus panels, including a “budget panel” of cheaper models landing within 1% of Claude Fable 5 on intelligence tests, and demonstrations of using Fusion in chat and via API to generate outputs like SEO research and a clean landing page.00:00 Fusion Update Overview00:51 Panels Beat Solo Models01:43 Budget Panel Near Fable02:23 How Fusion Works03:05 Live Panel Demo03:53 Benchmark Results Breakdown05:02 API Integration Ideas05:50 Boardroom SEO Example06:56 Judge Fusion Output08:05 Draco Benchmark Explained09:10 Landing Page Results10:28 Wrap Up And Offers
Claude Banned: US Gov Pulls the Plug + New AI AlternativesThe US Government recently ordered Anthropic to pull their most powerful Claude models, sparking a major shift in the AI landscape.

GLM 5.2 vs Kimi K 2.7 vs Opus 4.8: Which AI Model Builds the Best Apps?The script compares GLM 5.2, Kimi K 2.7, and Opus 4.8 by giving them identical build prompts inside an agent operating system and judging results across five tests: a Temple Run–style voxel runner (GLM 5.2 best), an inner solar system/orbit HUD simulation (Kimi K 2.7 best for zoom, speed, and customization), a liquid-in-a-bowl particle/metaball interaction (GLM 5.2 best), an Apple-style AI model landing page (GLM 5.2 best), and a neon arcade game (GLM 5.2 most fun). The narrator notes GLM 5.2 is very new and not yet on OpenRouter, contrasts origins and context windows, highlights that Kimi and GLM can be used inside AI agents unlike Claude/Opus, and concludes GLM 5.2 wins four of five tests while promoting the AI Profit Boarding community and agent OS download.00:00 Model Showdown Setup00:57 Test 1 Temple Run Runner02:01 Test 2 Solar Orbit Map03:27 Test 3 Liquid Metaballs04:39 Test 4 Apple Style Landing Page05:40 Test 5 Neon Arcade Game06:24 Benchmarks And Model Specs07:51 How To Use Them Together08:15 Get The Agent OS09:30 Community Wrap Up
