FABLE 5 CAME BACK NERFED.
We re-ran the July 1st version of Claude Fable 5 on BridgeBench.
The results are brutal:
Debugging: 86.2 → 25.9
Refactoring: 73.6 → 38.4
Hallucination: 75.9 → 61.7
The new guardrails are kicking in on way too many tasks and falling back to Opus 4.8.
This is not the model that got banned.
Anthropic owes everyone an explanation.
Seed Audio 1.0 is live!
The best audio model for anything you make.
Change a voice, narrate from text, or dub a video into 18 languages.
Available on Higgsfield and on Claude via Higgsfield MCP.
so i tested fable for straight 4 hours..
> its clearly nerfed
> it keeps automatically switching me back to 4.8
> burns through quota way faster than it should
> flags normal coding as if it's something dangerous
> the one-shot magic is gone
> the output feels like slop now
> half my prompts never even reach fable, they hit Opus instead
its like you're paying the fable premium for a fallback answer..
until they tune the safeguards down and fix the metering, fable in this state isn't worth building with honestly.
ByteDance just unveiled Seedance 2.5, and the new features look crazy: 30-second AI video generation, up to 50 multimodal reference files, local video editing, better consistency, stronger prompt following, and way more control over cinematic AI scenes.
Seedance 2.5 is mythos und Fable 5 moment of Video Models
I honestly can’t even imagine what creators will be able to make when you combine Fable 5-level thinking with Seedance 2.5-level video generation.
This is not just another AI video update.
This could be the beginning of a completely new creative pipeline.
What do you think Fable 5 + Seedance 2.5 could create together? #seedance
The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.
