The policy decision to silently nerf AI/ML code produced by Fable surely wasn't just something "accidentally imported via a bad hire"? It seems to me like Anthropic wants to control who can develop frontier AI models. Maybe from inside Anthropic that seems like a noble mission, but from the outside it seems like downright shady anti-competitive behavior.

I saw in latest news the decision has been partially reversed -- because of external pressure...

My point was that Anthropic has tended to make atypical decisions vs. its peers, not that they're always the right decisions. The direction of those decisions has tended towards assuming exponential growth of AI will continue and a certain flavor of AI safety.

This decision does seem in line with what I would expect from Anthropic, so I don't see it as a sign of changing values – even if I personally disagree.
