I think this is the beginning of the end of US tech dominance. That being said I personally was not impressed with Fable at all. Apart from burning tokens like there was no tomorrow it behaved like Opus 4.8 and produced more or less the same output. In practice I think it was hard to use due the safety restrictions. With the shadow slop injector it was basically DOA but they changed that policy so at least it still had a chance.

Luckily I have a project with 200k lines of code, generating substantial revenue. Asked Fabel to run continuously through all features with up to 50 parallel agents, fix bugs, log improvements etc (just to max out tokens before the week reset)

This is making me extremely depressed. If this was coming from Anthrohpic I would just need to wait for OpenAI to drop a similar model. But if this comes from the US government, they will do the same to OpenAI when the moment comes.

Similar things will happen with China, and the EU has zero-chance of developing frontier models. We are just fucked now.

I feel really bad for Anthropic right now. This should never have happened and seems like another arbitrary use of government power, Friday after market closes.

Whatever you feel about Anthropic, good or bad, this is not fair, and this is not good for the industry.

Such a shame this super intelligent, super dangerous AI can't make a website that doesn't look like an 11 year old's MySpace page, or make their "Game engine TUI" not flicker.

who cares. Just have deepseek v4 pro do 10-20 turns when you want to solve something really complicated. then judge with GPT5.5.

That's actually a good point. I had Fable available almost immediately under my Copilot subscription and never bothered to use it even to say hello.

But from what I hear, Fable looks like an incremental update, with improved behavior imprinted by training.

Something that you could theoretically approximate by using a good set of instructions and model orchestration (tweaking the session life cycle, using a second model to understand user intentions, using a third model to prevent drift, ...).

If the above is true, the only discriminator would be user effort.

If Fable is dangerous, then we are still in danger right now, and have been for the last few months at the very least.
