At this point Anthropic is a pure marketing and PR company. Super catchy names like Opus, Mythos and Fable trying to get you to think that these software products are actually super-human life changing experiences. Boris Cherny coming to HN “Hi! it’s Boris from the Claude Code team” to get real tech people’s goodwill. From Opus 4.6 there are no noticeable improvements for me in code generation. It works very well, ti…

Don't forget the DoD stint that gave them this recent public boost.

Defy standard DoD precedent going back forever, that every other country has some form of too, and championing it like they are some kind of moral freedom fighters.

Like selling the DoD guns and telling them they can only shoot bad guys with those guns, and that you will be the one to decide who counts as a bad guy...

After saying for weeks of how Mythos is in a league all of its own you’d think it was a bit more than the usual iterative few % on the benchmarks (and even more guardrails as a bonus).

IPO gonna IPO, I suppose.

> On June 23, we’ll remove Fable 5 from those plans. Using it after that will require usage credits. We've entered the phase where only companies will be able to afford state-of-the-art models.

but we’re going to get a 90% cost reduction in the next 18 months… right? Right guys? Sam Altman wouldn’t lie right?

I have to share this because I thought it is behind funny how bad fable is doing at a task I JUST had opus do a week ago. it's also not even complicated: Copy my ssd to an external ssd so i can boot from it. Opus did this just fine. Fable planned to have me reboot to safe mode. ok thats fine. I told it no. It started copying and overwriting the ssd while IN PLAN MODE. this is crazy it feels so dumb vs the marketing

That sounds like a harness issue to me.

For those of us on subscription plans: * From today through June 22, Fable 5 is included on Pro, Max, Team, and seat-based Enterprise plans at no extra cost. * On June 23, we’ll remove Fable 5 from those plans. Using it after that will require usage credits. If capacity allows, we’ll extend the included window. * After this point—when sufficient capacity allows us to do so—we aim to restore Fable 5 as a standard part…

Enterprise subs not allowed to use Fable if they have setup zero data retention :(

I just tested it with a max subscription. On Ultracode mode, Fable 5 ate up 10% of my weekly allowance in 30 minutes. Granted, won't be using UC mode frequently, but still.

I've seen enough degradation of the models I pay for from Anthropic to not bite. Fable will work fine for the first couple of weeks and then start degrading like previous models did.

hopefully not! Anthropic did recently secure more compute...

One can hope it helps Claude to figure out how to solve their buggy payment system - otherwise how do I pay for these credits.

It seems like Fable will refuse to do any work when it comes to developing LLMs or even asking questions about topics related to LLM. Simple things like asking to explain a paper fails! From the model card: In light of the ability of recent models to accelerate their own development, we've implemented new interventions that limit Claude's effectiveness for requests targeting frontier LLM development (for example, on…

I wanted to try on my biology research and it refused to talk about it and proxied to 4.8. Really, only surface level conversations about topics of interest. I know this is not a topic of broad and mass interest, but limiting it for topics like that and machine learning will probably do change how I use it.
