Switch DeepNews bot to claude-fable-5 and add podcasts source - #336
Merged
Conversation
AskNews recommended moving the DeepNews research-only bot to their new Astra model and adding "podcasts" to the DeepNews sources list. - METAC_ASKNEWS_DEEPNEWS now uses asknews/deep-research/high-depth/gpt-6-astra - Medium and high depth DeepNews presets include the "podcasts" source - Bump asknews SDK to 0.14.2, which is the first version whose client-side validation accepts "podcasts" (and lists gpt-6-astra); no transitive dependency changes - Add a cheap integration test covering the podcasts source - Replace stale DeepNews model Literal with the SDK's DeepNewsModel type Note: as of Sep 5 2026 the AskNews server lists gpt-6-astra but still rejects requests with "Invalid model: gpt-6-astra" (rollout in progress). claude-fable-5 was verified working as a fallback.

What changed
METAC_ASKNEWS_DEEPNEWSnow usesasknews/deep-research/high-depth/claude-fable-5(wasclaude-opus-4-6). AskNews also recommendedgpt-6-astra, but their API still rejects it (see reviewer notes), so Fable 5 is used for now.AskNewsSearchernow pass["asknews", "google", "x", "wiki", "podcasts"]. Low-depth is unchanged (asknewsonly). Note this also affects other bots that use those presets (template bots, the experimental DeepSeek+DeepNews bot).<0.15.0(lock pinned at 0.14.2). Older SDK versions rejectpodcastsclient-side via a pydantic Literal. 0.14.2 has identical transitive dependencies to the previously locked 0.13.47. Lower bound left at 0.9.1 for backwards compatibility.test_deep_research_accepts_podcasts_source(low depth,open-source-best, a few cents per run). Passed live.Literal[...]model type hint replaced with the SDK'sDeepNewsModel; install hint in the ImportError message updated.Why
AskNews (drafty) recommended switching the DeepNews bot to a newer model (Astra or Fable) for the Fall season and adding
podcaststo the sources list.Reviewer notes
claude-fable-5verified working end to end with the podcasts source on the live API.gpt-6-astrais not usable yet. As of Sep 5 2026, AskNews's public model list and request schema accept it, but the backend returns400 - Invalid model: gpt-6-astra. Once that lands, switching is a one-word change on thedeepnews_modelline inrun_bots.py.claude-fable-5.podcastssource.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
