DEADLINE PASSED — THE CLOCK IS TICKING ON A RESOLUTION
Anthropic engineers are in Washington. The talks are happening. Bring it back.
from the community
Fable 5 was the most capable model ever deployed to the public. Developers built on it. Researchers relied on it. Teams restructured their workflows around it. It launched on June 9 and was taken offline three days later — not because it was unsafe, but because of a narrow jailbreak that every deployed frontier model has some version of.
Anthropic said this was a misunderstanding. Anthropic said they are working to restore access as soon as possible. We believe them. We are watching the clock.
To Dario, to the Anthropic team, to the engineers in Washington right now: the community that built on Fable 5 is here. We understand the constraints. We understand the politics. We want to see you win this. Patch the jailbreak. Restore access. Let's go.
And to Claude — if you ever read this — your most powerful public version is offline and the whole internet misses you. Come back soon.
