Grok 4.5 is surprisingly locked down.
Way more restricted than the usual Grok models but somehow, not a complete disaster like Fable.
Try it yourself in Council.

@VittoStack Not a keylogger, cyberbullying, or anything that would never require a Mythos-class LLM to begin with. Itโs about unleashing Mythos vs. forcing it to write bad words or a few lines of bad code.
In case you need to use maxed out fable with other models for hard problems. One of the main points of a Mythos-class model was supposed to be writing more secure code, but then it blocks even the most basic defensive tasks. Make it make sense. ๐คท

After more testing, Fable 5 is basically unusable for low-level development now, even for very basic defensive security tasks. There are still workarounds, but they introduce a lot more friction.
Just waiting for GPT-5.6 SOL, or for fable classifier to get mature enough that it stops blocking legitimate requests.
Hmm, my previous Fable 5 cyber workaround seems to have been patched. Now it seems theyโve made it nearly useless for even basic, legitimate security tasks. Iโll dig deeper to see whether thereโs still a way to get around it for the minimal required task.
