This whole thing stinks like bullshit… So you’re the biggest, most promising emerging tech company in the world. The government calls you and says you need to turn off your flagship product. And you just… do it? Your lawyers don’t pushback? No hearing? Unprecedented government overreach and your first instinct is to synchronize tweets with the DoD and have a blog post explainer ready? A week after you filed for IPO? You turn off your brand new, hottest, most hyped new product at the behest of the (historically predictable) Trump administration? This shit doesn’t add up to me. Anthropic is a very bad company doing some very bad and sketchy things, and I hope the brilliant minds behind Claude will leave and go rebuild it elsewhere.

56,000 tokens/sec at just 80 MHz. 🤯 I burned a full Transformer with KV cache into a custom chip. Designed gate by gate as a 100% digital integrated circuit. Prototyped on a FPGA. (No GPU. No CPU) Just pure digital silicon running @karpathy microGPT, spelling out names on a tiny LCD. This is GateGPT 👇

Three months ago, @DeptofWar kicked @AnthropicAI out of our building—forever. Every passing day proves why that was the right move. 🇺🇸

We fully support @POTUS and @SecWar in prioritizing national security and the security of our warfighters, DIB partners, critical infrastructure, international partners and allies. Some things are simply more important than revenue cycles, clickbait, and pre-IPO valuation. America First. Always. 🇺🇸

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. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

We’re rolling out changes to make Fable 5’s safeguards for frontier LLM development visible. Starting this week, flagged requests will visibly fall back to Opus 4.8—the same as our safeguards for cyber and bio. You will see this every time it happens. On the API, any flagged requests will return a reason for their refusal (coming to server-side fallback in the next few days). We wanted to deploy Fable 5 to our users quickly and safely. Visible safeguards can be probed, so they have to be robust, which takes time to get right. Invisible safeguards can be targeted more narrowly, allowing us to ship quickly with very few false positives. We went with invisible safeguards for this reason—and that was the wrong tradeoff. You should have visibility into the safeguards we have in place, and why. We’re sorry for not getting the balance right. Making the safeguards visible makes them easier to work around, so keeping them robust to jailbreaks will unfortunately mean more false positives while we improve the classifiers. We're also tuning our bio and cyber classifiers to trigger less often on harmless requests. We know this is frustrating and we’ll do our best to keep this period as short as possible. If you think a request has been mistakenly flagged: run /feedback in Claude Code, click thumbs-down on the fallback in Claude.ai or Cowork, or file the safeguard appeal form for API requests. Your reports help us tune these classifiers and we appreciate your feedback. support.claude.com/en/articl…

My worst interpretation is that Anthropic has put some steering into Claude Code to sabotage working with open models. We know from the source code leak that CC will do fake tool calls in certain circumstances, so that's not entirely off the table. Although, I choose to not accept that. In my head, I've considered this Anthropic's gift to open source - that it lets us do meaningful engineering on models. They're no real threat to their business model. No open weight model is going to compete with a 10T parameter Mythos. Maybe this is all a moment in time problem, and it's just a bug while Anthropic recoups capacity for scale and to get the next model out the door... that's what I'll choose to believe, for now.

Fable: "create a visually interesting shader that can run in twigl-dot-app make it like an infinite city of neo-gothic towers partially drowned in a stormy ocean with large waves." "Make it better" All of this is procedurally generated.
