Not seeing anything out of the ordinary (yet)
Yesterday, Claude released Fable 5, a Mythos-class model said to be "safe for general use."
In @kentik.bsky.social OTT traffic metrics, we observed peaks of concurrent Claude users trying it out, briefly generating more traffic than ChatGPT usage despite never having more users.
My good friend @ammir.bsky.social and I were both interviewed for the first segment in yesterday’s episode of @theworld.org about the partial internet restoration in Iran.
Check it out here:
🚨Update on the partial restoration of internet in Iran.
It has been 24hrs+ since service started coming back in Iran. In that time, traffic levels peaked at 41% of what we saw prior to Jan 8th, which is also below the Jan 27-Feb 28 partial restoration.

Das Internet im Iran ist seit 20 Jahren zensiert. Webseiten ausländischer Medien sind blockiert. Auch wird das Internet zeitweise komplett abgeschaltet, was zu humanitären Schäden führt. Aktuell ist der Shutdown etwas gelockert, aber der Traffic nur auf einem Niveau von 60% von vor dem Shutdown.
Internet in Iran is still only partially restored following the end of the 88-day shutdown on May 26, at most 60% of pre Jan 8th levels measured in bits/sec.
Traffic volumes into Iran were stable over the weekend despite recent airstrikes. #DigitalBlackOutIran
Traffic levels into Iran have reached 60% of pre-Jan 8th levels as the partial internet restoration continues to unfold.
Iran may be entering a phase that resembles the partial restoration (Jan 27 to Feb 28), marked by instability and erratic blockages.

❗️For the first time in 3 months, we're seeing a spike in OONI measurements coming from #Iran in recent days. 🙏
The absence of OONI data also clearly reflects the two internet connectivity shutdowns observed in #Iran since the start of the year.
