Using Claude Fable 5 or Mythos 5 on Amazon Bedrock requires opting into provider_data_share, sending prompts and outputs to Anthropic for 30-day retention with human review. Previous Bedrock models kept inference data inside the AWS boundary. Three days after launch, Anthropic asked AWS to revoke access to both models citing US export control compliance.

Block, Inc. describes migrating ~450 JVM repositories into a monorepo across Cash App and Square engineering to reduce dependency drift and coordination overhead. The system supports ~8,800 weekly builds with ~10 min p90 CI time. The approach improves cross-service changes, build visibility, and developer experience through dependency graph–based builds, selective CI, and custom IDE tooling.
