For Asuka, I tried to express a kind of quiet madness by letting her naturally resonate with Eva Unit-02, not only visually but psychologically, as if the two were silently linked.
For Denji, I focused on a more dynamic kind of madness—one driven by his own desire for change. I also leaned heavily into flat, street-art-inspired colors, and I think it gave the piece a raw, violent energy.
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.
