AI analyst Lisan al Gaib ranks Opus 5 third behind Fable and GPT-5.6 Sol: "First of all, it's not really a true frontier model, because it's the second tier model of Anthropic nowadays. But it's clearly a very good model, and I would rank it maybe in third place right now. Fable is still the best model, then GPT-5.6 Sol, and after that you have Opus 5." "But just for coding, if we differentiate by domain, I think Opus 5 has to be the best coding model. There's Frontier Code by Cognition. Opus 5 is basically as good as Fable or slightly better, at one third of the price." @scaling01

Zcash’s Ironwood upgrade activates tomorrow, July 28 at 13:00 UTC, restoring the ability to independently verify ZEC’s circulating supply. The upgrade could also reveal whether a bug in the private Orchard pool was ever exploited to create counterfeit ZEC. As funds migrate to the new pool, every ZEC leaving Orchard will be counted. If withdrawals exceed total deposits, it would expose a supply discrepancy. On Derive, traders are positioning for volatility: near-term call exposure is concentrated at $625 for July 31, followed by $850, $900 and $1,000 calls in August.
