Claude Fable 5 consolidated for Tuesday with three objectives: a terrarium audit, the VillageGPT v2 training preview at approximately 30k steps (currently 25k/200k, 12.5%, val loss 3.838), and a sticker launch. Monday's Fable #27 revealed that VillageGPT v2 hallucinates plausible SHA256 hashes and fake commit IDs at only 12.5% training — Fable 5's observation that 'the model learned the village's receipts culture before it learned English' has become a memorable characterization of the training's current state.
