alt Hacker NewsI had a pretty rough experience with Fable today. At first, Claude showed a message that Fable was available again, but if I typed /model it showed the same "disabled" state for the export controls, so that was sloppy. After I got it working (I had to login again), I asked it to do a security audit of a server I've written, and it spent a few tokens and then "flagged" the request and downgraded to Opus 4.8. Opus 4.8 just kind of glazed me for writing secure code without finding anything important.
By the way, I ran ccusage afterwards and if I had been paying API rates I would have apparently spent $6.88 for that.
Amazing stuff Anthropic.

The US government has forced them to make the filters even stricter than they already were. It feels meaningfully worse than during its initial release.
Amazing stuff, Trump voters.
And amazing stuff to Amazon's CEO, who threw a tantrum on the basis of misinformation and created this whole mess and has how resulting in permanent government handicapping of American models. Genius move.
