Cybersecurity researchers aren't happy about the guardrails on Anthropic's Fable (techcrunch.com) AI

Cybersecurity researchers say Anthropic’s public model Fable overreaches with guardrails that block or pause requests they describe as harmless, such as code review or even reading content, while falling back to another model when tripped. They argue the restrictions are keyword- or topic-based in a way that can downgrade responses needed for secure software work, despite Anthropic’s stated aim of reducing risks like malware development and biological weapons research. Anthropic did not immediately comment, and the company also runs an application-based Cyber Verification Program that reportedly allows approved professionals fewer limitations.
