Fable Routing Controversy: Output Quality Plummets When 'Naughty Words' Included
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-08-01
Addressing the recent 'Routergate' controversy in the AI community, a developer clarified the actual issue: there is a drastic difference in output quality within the 'V4 GA' model.
The Core Problem:
If a user's prompt includes 'Naughty Words' (sensitive/banned words), the model outputs utter slop. Without these words, or when using the current V4-Pro and Flash-0731 models, the quality is significantly better. This drastic quality drop triggered by safety mechanisms is the root cause of the community's routing allegations.
