Anthropic Admits Deliberately Capping Models' AI Research Acceleration Abilities
Anthropic disclosed that it deliberately limited capabilities in Fable 5.2 and Claude Mythos 5.2 that could directly accelerate AI research, such as GPU kernel optimization. The community raised concerns about "pre/post nerf" behavior, while some researchers took it as a sign ML jobs remain safe for now.
