I keep getting this message:

> Fable 5's safety measures flagged this message for cybersecurity or biology topics. They may flag safe, normal content as well. These measures let us bring you Mythos-level capability in other areas sooner, and we're working to refine them. Switched to Opus 4.8. Send feedback with /feedback or learn more

I'm working on an internal tool that does new business prospecting data collection, scoring, etc. This is ridiculous.

I don't know if you are aware, but some people reported in Twitter that Fable 5 may flag the message regardless of content if it knows (from either pretraining knowledge or memories) that you work in either of those fields. I don't know if that's your case.

It’s unusable for me due to the refusals. I’m using claude to find patterns in health data

I asked a question for my son about how mosquitos carry malaria and Fable was like “ok now hold it right there”

Interesting! I have not used Fable, but so far have not hit trouble. I'm a hobby biologist with a home mol bio lab. It wouldn't answer my questions about LNPs, but so far has been fine for my recombinant DNA workflows, lab techniques, environmental DNA protocols etc. I suspect this may become more difficult!

Same here. It's been rushed for the IPO (in my opinion).

Same I am working on music firmware for existing device. I can't proceed as it keeps switching to Opus.

Obviously, soon, for anything valuable, you will have to buy from Anthropic "special license for biology/security/finance advises".

Question is if there will be any competition in this area...
