An interesting perspective on the Anthropic pitch that you should be writing loops instead of prompting Claude.
A comparison of Fable vs GLM vs GPT shows Fable outperforms other LLMs at long running tasks but is slower and more expensive for quick tasks.
Anthropic reminds me of how Apple used claims of privacy and user experience to overplay their hand in dominating their ecosystem.
The difference is that it’s unclear that Claude has the same kind of moat the iPhone does.
Anthropic is walking back its plan to silently degrade Claude Fable 5 if it detects you’re trying to use it to build a competing LLM.
Instead Claude will either refuse the request or reroute the user to a less capable model.
Imagine if Microsoft had done this with Office or Visual Studio.
Xbox has been scoring strategic own goals since Xbox One and most recently, doubling the price of Xbox Game Pass as a way to recoup the $69B it spent on Activision.

Anthropic will collect all prompts and the output generated by Mythos class models such as Fable and store them for 30 days. This is meant to better detect abuses of their terms of service.
Microsoft has held off on adopting Fable due to this data collection and I expect many others will as well.
