🗺️ What if AI could learn your app once—and never have to rediscover it? @HandstandSam introduces Trailblaze, an open-source tool that lets AI agents explore your app, save the path, and replay it without another LLM call. 🔗 #AndroidDev# #AI# #OpenSource# #droidConUSA26#

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement:
