The fact that we are coming up on a month of Fable being unavailable with essentially zero actual signal from Anthropic around when it may be back is crazy to me. Yet still we have these random new products coming out?
I mean the company has like 3k employees or more right? Lots of them are just working on more applied AI use cases that don't require frontier AI just the right integrations and structure etc.
Opus 4.8/ GPT 5.6 level models with the right workflows/ data/ access are still good enough to do huge amounts of economically valueable work.

> Since June 12, we’ve been working closely with the US government to restore access to Claude Mythos 5 and Fable 5. Today, the government notified us that Mythos 5, our strongest cybersecurity model, can be redeployed to a set of US organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure.
> We’re restoring access for these organizations quickly, and we’re continuing to work with the government to expand access to Mythos 5 and make Fable 5 available for general use again.
