As believers of open research, we are disappointed to see Anthropic silently degrading Fable 5 for AI development
"Any topic related to building pretraining pipelines, distributed training infrastructure, or ML accelerator design... may have limited effectiveness through Claude via methods such as prompt modification, steering vectors, or parameter-efficient fine-tuning."
Not only do they get to decide what you use LLMs for in research, but this also enables them to silently intervene in your research without you knowing.
This sets a dangerous precedent. If a model refuses openly, users can understand the boundary. If a model falls back to another model, users can still evaluate the difference. But if a model silently modifies or weakens its own answers while still pretending to help, researchers lose the ability to know whether a failed result came from their own idea, their implementation, or an invisible intervention by the model provider.
That is not safety. Safety policies should be transparent, auditable, and user-visible.
On top of that, the people most harmed by this are not the largest labs with massive teams and proprietary infrastructure. It is the independent researchers, academic groups, startups, and open-source builders who rely on public tools to compete, innovate, and pioneer AI for everyone else.
Anthropic: "We are terrified of recursive self-improvement, it may kill us all!"
Also Anthropic: "But like, not when we do it hahaha. I mean, like, when all those other labs do it, that'll be bad, so like they're not allowed. but we got the secret recipe, trust us, we're chill"
كنت بقلب في الدرج لقيت الورقة دي ، كنت كتبتها اول ما حصلي layoff من سنة تقريباً.
لو اي حد بيمر ب layoff ممكن يبص عليها و يفتكر ان الدنيا هتبقى تمام و الله . ركز عل مجهود و خليك واثق ان النتيجة جية جية طول ما انت مكمل .
