Anthropic is speed-running the loss of user goodwill. After the government situation - one they weren’t exactly blameless in - users were left with almost no proactive communication. Paying customers had to piece together updates from rumors, publications, and scattered replies on X. Then the model return announcement finally came, but it was vague and confusing. “Coding and cybersecurity tasks will revert to Opus” - what does that actually mean in practice? Is this a full return, a limited chatbot release, or something else? The clearest explanations are coming from individual team members replying to users, not from one official, easy-to-understand source. And now Fable is about to release with strict limits again. Seven days of access, then pay-per-use. For Max-tier subscribers, that feels like yet another moment where Anthropic could have shown goodwill - and chose not to. I used to default to Claude. I genuinely couldn’t imagine switching. But when models become close enough in intelligence, people will choose the company that makes them feel respected, informed, and valued. Right now, OpenAI is somehow looking like the more user-friendly option. They look like the AI hero's right now. Anthropic still has time to turn this around, but this feels cultural. They will need some changes top-down. The product may be excellent, but the communication and user trust is eroding.

Claude Fable 5 will be available again globally tomorrow. After a series of productive conversations with the US government, we're redeploying the model with a new set of classifiers to target and block more cybersecurity tasks. In the near term, some routine tasks like coding and debugging will fall back to Opus 4.8. We’ll continue to refine these classifiers over the coming weeks to reduce false positives and better distinguish genuine misuse from legitimate requests. We’ve also begun drafting a consensus framework—with Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and other Glasswing partners—for assessing the severity of AI jailbreaks and how AI developers should respond to them. We invite other industry partners and model providers to join us in this effort. Finally, we’re scaling up our collaboration with the US government on model testing and safeguards. This will include pre-release access to models and safeguards for evaluation, information sharing on jailbreaks and misuse, and dedicated resources for joint research. Thank you to our users for your patience, and to our partners across the government, industry, and the research community who worked alongside us to make Fable 5 available again.

I think I cracked the X growth sauce for solo app devs. Early tests feel different. Thoughts?






We’ve received notice that the Department of Commerce has lifted export controls on Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5. We'll begin restoring access tomorrow, and will share an update soon. We’re grateful to our users for their patience, and to everyone who worked with us on redeploying the models.


Fable has been freed. For everyone. x.com/i/status/20721…
