I now have definitive proof that Anthropic has been silently downgrading Fable users to Opus models without providing notification in the UI and without respecting their own configuration flag that prevents automatic model downgrades on classifier activation.
I previously claimed that Anthropic nerfed Fable after they announced they would continue providing access to Fable for all Max user subscriptions starting July 20th. And now I have the evidence from their own harness code and model registry, with version numbers and dates. And it proves they activated the capability to silently downgrade users exactly ON JULY 20th.
If you've been noticing that Fable seems to think less before acting, and gives you vibes that remind you of talking to Opus 4.8, it's because you probably have been silently routed to Opus 4.8 - with no discernible UI feedback, and no mechanism for you to stop it from happening.
This is yet another instance of user-hostile behavior from Anthropic. They had planned to remove Fable from subscription plans on July 7th, July 12th, and July 19th and were forced to keep it in subscription plans indefinitely due to competitive pressures from OpenAI and Chinese open weight model releases like Kimi 3.
But this is Anthropic, so they did what Anthropic does best and silently took Fable away from you anyway, while telling you how proud they were to provide you with permanent access in your subscription plan.
We now know what "working literally around the clock" meant.
(receipts attached. and sorry for the small text)
Anthropic is an extremely dishonest company
They are completely convinced that they have the mandate of heaven, so they feel justified in doing whatever they want
@radshaan@SiliconTruffle LOL
yeah same i've had to ask to simplify so often that i use a skill for it now regularly. especially when im running multiple and i have to decipher lots of gibberish while context switching
https://t.co/rjrBLgbPSX it's a version of this except i changed it a good bit
as a non-english speaker I had the same feeling. reading speed dropped first on code explanations, before I noticed it in normal conversation
what worked for me is a Claude Code output style with an ASD-STE100 instruction. controlled english from aircraft manuals, one meaning per word, short sentences. so it is fixable downstream, whatever causes it upstream

hope it helps
opus 4.6 is the last anthropic model that i had no problem reading the writing of quickly
all of the models since, incl fable, are a lot less legible. for both coding and convo
is it an RL artifact? what's causing it? i've seen this sentiment shared by friends
以后最了解你身体的,可能不是医生,也不是你自己,而是你手腕上的那块表。
Google Research 发了一篇 SensorFM,核心想法很有意思:把可穿戴设备每天收集的心率、睡眠、运动、体温、血氧等信号,训练成一个通用的健康基础模型。
过去这些数据大多停留在「今天睡了多久」「心率多少」「走了几步」这种仪表盘层面。SensorFM 想做的,是让 AI 从长期、连续、碎片化的传感器数据里,学到一个人的生理状态表示。
这件事的意义不只是预测某个指标。
它更像是在给未来的 Personal Health Agent 打地基:AI 不再只根据你输入的文字回答健康问题,而是能结合你的真实身体数据,给出更个性化的解释和提醒。
当然,这也会带来新的问题。
当 AI 越来越懂你的睡眠、压力、代谢和情绪波动,健康建议会变得更及时,也会变得更敏感。
可穿戴设备原本是记录工具,未来可能会变成理解身体的入口。
真正值得讨论的是:
当你的身体信号开始被 AI 长期建模,谁来决定这些数据怎么用、怎么解释、以及什么时候该提醒你?
