Anthropic released its latest model, Fable, this Tuesday, as a public, restricted version of its internal advanced cybersecurity model, Mythos. However, the model has sparked controversy in the cybersecurity community due to its overly strict built-in safety guardrails. Several security researchers and practitioners have complained that Fable is nearly unusable for practical cybersecurity work, as it rejects queries involving sensitive fields such as cybersecurity, biology, and chemistry, and even downgrades related tasks to older models, severely impacting user experience and the model's practicality.
