is fable 5 still nerfed or did they fix it
heard fable 5 was really good then got pulled then came back but worse. is it still bad or did anthropic fix whatever they broke?? trying to decide if i should pay for claude max to get access or if sonnet 5 is just better now anyway
tested fable 5 yesterday on the same benchmark we ran june 10 (before the takedown). it's absolutely still nerfed. debugging tasks that scored 84% pre-takedown now hit 28%. the safety classifier is way too aggressive
tested this on the same benchmark suite yesterday (humaneval + mbpp + our internal debug tasks). fable 5 post-relaunch scores 31% on debug vs 84% pre-takedown. safety classifier is rejecting anything that looks like exploit code or system-level debugging. production blocker for us.
31% on debug vs 84% pre-takedown is absolutely brutal. is there any category where fable 5 post-relaunch is still usable or is it just worse across the board
