Not allowing it to be used by any foreign national, from any country, even if they are located in the United States or an employee of Anthropic, seems overly broad and harsh. And all because of a seemingly minor potential jailbreak exploit. There’s something that doesn’t quite meet the eye here.

No, it’s about Amodei refusing sucking Hegseth's dick a few months ago.

We've been hearing about the risks of engineered viruses and homemade superweapons since GPT 3.5, so where are they? We've had abliterated open weights models much stronger than GPT 4 for over a year now. It's been interesting seeing how OpenAI pops up to counter the threat of AGI being controlled by Google, and then OpenAI and every spinoff company from its employees has become a far larger threat to the public, for…

So isn’t the only logical conclusion that we have reached the max of model capabilities that the US allows to be made available to the public? Why invest in smarter models with this precedent? And potentially more importantly: if a model like Mythos, which at best is an incremental improvement over Opus, is getting this treatment, how are all the AI investments that are based on the expectation of ASI / AGI / signifi…

We definitely reached the available capability plateau. You are 100% correct IMHO.

Anyone lost access yet? Fable is still working for me on https://claude.ai/ and in Claude Code. UPDATE: I lost access at 6:59pm pacific.

This is just Anthropic being nice enough to wean us off before the 22nd.

A race to the bottom means that as other model makers start competing with Anthropic's Fable 5, eventually costs will come down. However if you are able to successfully convince the government to cease AI development, you don't have to sweat so much at night worrying about your competitors.

this is absolute slop, terrible, and beautiful in the way that all Fable work is beautiful, terrible, and slop.

goodbye.

> If this standard was applied across the industry, we believe it would essentially halt all new model deployments for all frontier model providers.

... Isn't that basically what Anthropic asked for, literally a week ago?
