Funny to see that they did not include Fable 5 in their GeneBench and LifeSciBench comparisons because "it does not answer advanced biology questions and refuses the majority of questions in this eval".

Winner by default!

This is a major reason why I and a number of biologists I've talked to have canceled their anthropic accounts recently. Not working is not working.

It's so absurdly sensitive. It bailed out earlier today working on a TypeScript client for a sensor network API which happens to include some temperature and pH sensors for tanks, which yes, are used for biology experiments. But wow, we're degrees of separation from the actual biology work.

It's making it very hard to justify even trying to use Fable. When it works, awesome; it's legitimately good. But I can't trust it to do a task without deferring to Opus and that's really annoying at times. I want to know what I'm getting up front, not after the fact.

It refused to give me plant care instructions for an ornamental sold at my local Home Depot because it decided it was highly invasive and dangerous to grow in my region.

(It’s not)

I mean it's a fucking joke, I kept getting refusals on a code base I wasn't familiar with and it was literally just because there are some vars named DNA. Just absolutely stupid.

Anthropic just refuses to allow Fable to properly code review my projects. It's so obnoxious. If OpenAI's Fable equivalent is better at this, that'll get me to cancel my Anthropic subscription and switch.

Well it seems like they removed quite a few 3rd party benchmarks they used for GPT-5.5 release where Opus 4.7 was better and added many new benchmarks created by them where conviniently GPT leads.

Seems a bit more hand picked than usual to me..

You shouldn't know too much about biology, stupid human. You might live your life in an unexploitable way.

Anthropic's talk of "uplifting" people was so abhorent.

oh that's sad, are the biolgy limitations for "safety"?

Where’s the lie?
