So fable will jump more often to Opus than it already did on original release? Working with fable felt like having to constantly fight against your work tool. Frustrating. Now they're making it even more frustrating.

For reference, here's what my experience with Fable turned out to be like:

Just a code review of my own project. Downgraded to Opus 50% of the time while evaluating the critical I/O and memory safety parts, the exact thing I wanted it to do.

And now it's gonna be even worse.

  • I mean what do you expect when covering memory safety topics with a model that's not allowed to cover security topics? This seems totally expected. It'll be the same when 5.6 is released.

    • > what do you expect

      I expect the strong cybersecurity model to help me strengthen the cybersecurity of my project.

      > not allowed to cover security topics

      They said it wouldn't be usable for offensive purposes. This is the opposite of that.

Donald Trump named David Sacks the White House AI and crypto czar. I guess you know whom to thank.

  • Wasnt it Anthropic marketing their models as very very smart and dangerous?

    • I can't roll my eyes hard enough at all the people who say this shit about Anthropic every day. I know I'll get downvoted. I know it's lame to complain about future downvotes. I don't care anymore.

      Anthropic was correct in their assessment and early warning of Mythos's capabilities, and they did this rollout pretty well. They were not hype marketing. They were being genuinely cautious and honest.

      The Trump admin was largely unreasonable with the sudden export control. (Though not entirely unreasonable.) The export control also had not much to do with Anthropic's pre-release warnings. See: GPT-5.6 currently being held up by the federal government.
