User claims Claude silently routes biology queries to a weaker model, rails at Anthropic
jonkhler · x · 2026-08-17
User John Ennis ranted on X that trying to do anything biology-related in Claude immediately gets you routed to a "dumb model." He went on to accuse Anthropic of not wanting cancer to be cured "unless they are the ones who cure it," framing it as a deliberate strategy to make everyone dependent on and controllable by the company, and calling it "an evil company."
The thread is an emotional accusation with no evidence attached; the claim about degraded model routing is unverified and reflects one user's personal experience.
