I almost immediately ran into "This request requires additional safety checks, which can take extra time. Hang tight or retry with a faster model for a quicker response, though it may be less capable of handling complex requests."

Which is something I've never seen with codex before, and I wasn't doing anything funky. Just writing CUDA kernels and benchmarks for them.

Is it actually usable though? Because the Fable situation is just obnoxious. If OpenAI's Fable equivalent is actually usable, I'll cancel my Anthropic subscription on the spot.

Yes it's usable, however it does make it difficult to just do /goal and walk away if this is happening periodically. I don't do that often, but for well defined things I sometimes do.

Great. I usually babysit the agents so I think it won't be a problem. So long as there's no obnoxious downgrading going on.

That settles it. Anthropic has until the end of this month to get rid of Fable's "safety" bullshit. If they don't, I will not renew my subscription.

I was getting that regularly last week with regular 5.5 medium on the plus plan. I was doing benchmarking for a photo editor in Swift.

Interesting. Never seen it before. Now it's just constant and there's nothing sensitive about this work.

I'm getting the same message doing WebGL shader work.

It (Sol, on high) does seem actually really quite competent at this work though (GPU programming). Much more so than the attempts I made with 5.5 earlier today.
