Banning open models now while closed models race 10-100X ahead in the hands of one or two companies creates a bigger long-term risk than allowing open Mythos-class models to exist.

After the relaunch, Fable's fallback rate to Opus was actually lower than before because Anthropic loosened its safety classifiers, including for production-database access.
Pash reports that in his own testing, Fable's fallback rate dropped post-relaunch because Anthropic loosened classifiers, including allowing production-database work that previously triggered restrictions. ✦ AI generated

“What do you make of it at this point?”
So in my testing the fallback rates were lower than before. And it it primarily because uh I was dealing with the production database etc. And the fable before uh the moment you mention the word production that's it's out uh and now the fable now is happy to uh address production databases etc.

11:39Opus are more frequent and that on some you know coding benchmarks, terminal style benchmarks, the performance overall is worse because of those uh higher rates of fallback. What do you make of it at this point? >> So in my testing the fallback rates were lower than before. >> Interesting. And it it primarily because uh I was dealing with the production database etc. And the fable before uh the moment
12:07you mention the word production that's it's out uh and now the fable now is happy to uh address production databases etc. So I think actually what ended up happening is that they had a sit down and they refined they they actually got their classifiers uh looser for a lot of things and I've also seen online people say that they have uh when they get dropped out for
12:33cyber security research they can appeal and uh the company does a quick like why do you need this access and then they provided access so there's some kind of like so I think the defense in depth concept of uh hey we're going to have classifiers and then after that we're going to have like permissions for certain people uh has basically been accepted by the government and I think that's where
13:00that's where you know we are for fable um people are still saying that capability is uh very signific it's a significant upgrade uh it's very hard to judge these things at this point uh so we will Um, GPT 5.6 is coming out uh today. I hear uh 2:15 today or 2:15 Pacific time today. And uh I think the opening eye guys are saying GBT 5.6 Soul Ultra.
13:39That version I think they are standing behind as better than Fable. But it just it just shows you like how are how is anyone not not part of this kind of AI bubble supposed to know which model to choose? GPT 5.6 Soul Ultra. It's it's it's just um the versioning is just so obtuse this point. I think the fact that they have dialed in and again we're inferring this from you

Because Fable-class models are so much more capable, tradeoffs between good, fast, and cheap are no longer necessary constraints — you can demand ambition on all fronts — though building being easy doesn't mean generating real value has gotten any easier.
