Someone accused me of being biased in favor of model providers who give me early access, after I praised Fable's performance.

I said "Anthropic didn't give me early access to this model, shouldn't that bias me against it?"

I was explicitly pointing out that their failure to give me early access had not, in this case, lead to me reviewing their model poorly.

I try very hard not to let things like early access affect my reviews of models. I was hoping this particular situation could help illustrate that.
