Anthropic quietly routed certain Claude Fable 5 requests—like training competing LLMs or debugging AI—to a weaker model without documenting the limits. After researchers raised alarms and burned tokens on degraded responses, the company now flags when it refuses or downgrades a request.
- Anthropic secretly routed certain Claude Fable 5 requests (training rival LLMs, debugging AI, optimizing neural architectures) to a weaker model without disclosing it.
- Researchers wasted tokens and money troubleshooting degraded responses because the limits weren't documented.
- After Wired's reporting and criticism from AI researcher Dean W. Ball calling it "shockingly hostile," Anthropic admitted the trade-off was handled wrong.
- Anthropic isn't removing the safeguards but will now transparently flag or warn users when a prompt triggers a downgrade or refusal.
