A full day building on Anthropic's most advanced model, days after launch. What it's about Building with Fable 5.1. Attendees will focus on a continuous build block with hands on keyboard with the new model. Every team will then be invited at the end to present what they built. Part of the official Claude Community Build Day series. What you get $100 USD in API credits per attendee to keep building after the event. Exclusive launch content: Anthropic's official video on what's new in the model, screened only inside the event. Global reach: your build and the recap go into the roll-up Anthropic sends to the entire Ambassador network. A direct line to product: feedback from the room reaches Anthropic's product and model teams. The three tracks Delight · Build something surprising, beautiful or fun that you couldn't have built this well or this fast before. Breakthrough · Bring a problem the previous model couldn't solve and measure how far this one gets. Everyday · Solve a real problem from your day to day: reliability, tool use and real workflows. You pick the track. Solo or in teams of two to four. Everyone builds, everyone demos. Who it's for Developers, founders, researchers and builders who want to go from playing with Claude to shipping with Claude. No API experience required, just the itch to build.
