alt Hacker NewsFunny 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!

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.
You shouldn't know too much about biology, stupid human. You might live your life in an unexploitable way.
The other day I asked Fable about fasting for 16 hours, and it flagged my question.
Pathetic situation, this one, where we are supposedly building a superintelligence while at the same time thinking that fasting is a biological weapon.
Almost anything related to nutrition that goes beyond the very basic surface level questions is blocked
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..
I recently asked Claude to help me choose a single MOSFET (transistor) for a specific use case in a mundane circuit. The safety triggered and it ended the conversation and refused to continue. Gemini has also done the same thing to me. Looks like the big players got very spooked by the temporary Trump admin ban on Mythos and they all locked down way too hard.
Where’s the lie?
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.
