Releasing a model this capable comes with risks. Without strong safeguards, Claude Fable 5's advanced capabilities in areas like cybersecurity and biology could be misused by users to create large-scale cyberattacks or bioweapons that could result in catastrophic damage. These capabilities are the reason we've previously only released Mythos-class models (like Claude Fable 5) to a small number of selected and vetted partners.

Radiofrequency Ablation for Pain Management Medically Reviewed. Last updated on 03/14/2022. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) uses heat to destroy tissue. For pain management, radio waves are sent through a precisely placed needle to heat an area of the nerve. This prevents pain signals from being sent back to your brain. RFA is considered for long-term pain conditions, especially of the neck, lower back or arthritic joints that haven’t been successfully treated with other methods. Source: Cleveland Clinic
Three visualized graphs for Zack Wheeler's stuff and sequencing breakdowns. In the top left, a movement profile graph with standard X/Y axes. Top-right, his two best-performing sequences so far in 2026. In the bottom half, a visual resembling a genomic sequencer that lays out Wheeler's pitch usage by count
Zack Wheeler cheat sheet as of 5/28. Heavy sinker/4-seamer use, top sequence is 2S -> 4S with 54% whiff and 75% chase combined across 18 PA

Ghostbusters The relief pitcher who shows up in extras and sends the ghost packing. A Ghostbuster appearance is an extra-inning half-inning where the pitcher inherited the automatic runner at second base and left them stranded. Counts each extra-inning half-inning (10th or later) where a runner was confirmed on second at the start and the pitching team surrendered zero runs. Each distinct pitcher who appeared in a qualifying half-inning earns one credit. Split into Home (pitching at home park) and Away appearances. 1. Ramirez, Yohan: 5

Discord screenshot. Text: Hi folks. As mentioned here is the announcement of the opening of two (2!) new Phillies Therapy Patreon tiers. Once again, nothing about Office Hours is changing. Still $5, still Discord access, still ad-free episodes. But now, we have additional levels, if you so choose. Producer A $12/month tier that will afford you Office Hours benefits plus: Guarantee an answer to your question in future Q&As, no matter how big the mailbag gets Let you in on a bonus series tentatively titled "What We Learned," which will aim to be recorded at the end of each regular season series. This is not a guarantee, but we are looking to do at least 4-5 of these each month. They are micro episodes that will include both of us, or just me, or me with a special guest. Named credit at the end of each standard and bonus episode as a thank you A special Discord role and channel here on the server Executive Producer (limited to 10 spots) A $25/month tier that will afford you Producer benefits plus: Name read at the start of episodes as an Executive Producer supporter credit A personalized mini episode each month, prompted by your thought or question. Ask us what's up, tell us what's on your mind, and we'll give you a dedicated episode (a few minutes in length). It doesn't have to be about baseball but, uh, exercise discretion please! A (different) special Discord role and (additional) channel here on the server Credits and thank-yous will begin immediately, but bonus series episodes will not be recorded until the regular season. Thank you all again, we love you regardless of whether you choose one of these or stay on Office Hours. You're the best in all ways.
