Are people really going to hurt by this? Opus 4.8 can do a vast amount of the same tasks at half the price. How many people are really doing cutting edge work?

There's definitely a difference between the models.

I really hope this is just an 'fu' to Anthropic for their disgusting business behavior.

The funny thing is that the model isn't even impressive. I'd still use ChatGPT over it for anything other than design work. As soon as OpenAI cracks design, I'll never touch an Anthropic model again.

This is marketing. 1. Release fable, highly nerfed and limited 2. See the compute capacity limiter pegged day after day 3. Lobby to the government, claiming ai is super unsafe and not aligned and they must do something 4. Government "forces" anth to turn off 5. Anth takes the pressure off of compute capacity, and gets to blame it on the govt Like you're telling me fable is somehow an order of magnitude better than GP…

You're saying a company's marketing department can casually get the United States Government to issue a national security passage, preventing sale or distribution of their product?

Was their ongoing designation as a "supply chain risk", which they are suing to overturn in court, also a marketing stunt?

Seems like a really strange thing to use that sort of power for - why not just get all your competition declared persona non-grata and seize monopoly power?

Interesting to see Anthropic now downplaying the new vulnerabilities that Mythos discovered: > We reviewed a demonstration of this specific technique being used to identify a small number of previously known, minor vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities all appear relatively simple, and we have found that other publicly-available models are able to discover them as well without requiring a bypass

Their hubris just became lethal for their business. Whoops, I guess.

I'm annoyed at how short the eulogy is, impressively annoying beam of light shining through the text, making it hard to read. hats off to Fable!

For large corporates and other entities of any size, the threat of the core of your infrastructure getting suddenly disabled because of something like this is going to be untenable. I predict the pressures for on-prem, offline access (whether by licensing weights or getting them in a restricted setting like TEE/CC) will be overwhelming and one the players will fill the need.

Why? None of the various cloud provider outages ever have.
