As noted above, we have deployed the classifier as an experimental addition to our Safeguards framework, monitoring a percentage of Claude traffic. Its real-world performance has confirmed that the classifier works effectively beyond our testing environment. Whereas our synthetic test data provided clear examples of harmful and benign exchanges, the distribution of actual user traffic proved more complex and surprising, yet the classifier still performed well. One example of how real-world deployment differs from testing is that the classifier flagged certain conversations about nuclear weapon
Developing Nuclear Safeguards for AI… Users would not be notified that they had triggered the safety measure or informed that the responses had been changed. Anthropic said it is now changing its approach to distillation: Queries will now fall back to Claude Opus 4.8, Anthropic’s previous flagship model, the company said in a post on X. …
“We’re changing Fable 5’s safeguards for frontier LLM development to make them visible,” Anthropic said in a statement to WIRED. “We made the wrong trade-off and we apologize for not getting the balance right.” Anthropic released Claude Fable 5, a version of its latest AI model with additional safe… …
… This precision matters because nuclear conversations in AI systems are rare but high-stakes—they bear directly on national security. Sharing with industry We’re making these resources available so that other leading AI companies can implement similar safeguards if they choose. …
… "As part of our ongoing safety commitments as described in our Claude Opus 4.6 announcement , we are rolling out new cyber safeguards for Claude Opus 4.6," the company's documentation explains. …
… Availability Claude Fable 5 is available everywhere today. Claude Mythos 5 is restricted to Glasswing partners with cyber safeguards lifted and soon to select biology researchers with biology and chemistry safeguards lifted only, until our broader trusted access program is available. …
… Anthropic’s broader argument is that its strongest safeguards operate through independent classifier systems that function separately from the model itself, meaning that even if someone convinces Fable to keep talking past a refusal, the underlying protections against the most dangerous outputs rem… …

… OpenAI seemed to be seeking to differentiate its message on Tuesday by striking a less catastrophic tone and touting its existing guardrails and defenses while hinting at the need for more advanced protections in the long term. “We believe the class of safeguards in use today sufficiently reduce cy… …
… To deploy Fable 5 safely, we believe it was necessary to be overly conservative with our safeguards so they block most queries tied to biology work.” Anthropic has previously highlighted four key areas where it would throttle Fable’s responses for safety: chemistry, biology, cybersecurity, and dist… …
… Anthropic said it believes the government is concerned there's a way to bypass one of Fable 5’s safety safeguards to prevent it from being used to identify software vulnerabilities. …
