scaling01 · x · 2026-09-02
Technical discussion regarding the origin of the Claude Fable model clarifies:
- Architecture: The public Fable and Mythos models share the same size and architecture.
- Distillation Clarified: Fable is not distilled directly from a larger Mythos model.
- Teacher Model: It is claimed that both may be derived from a larger, unreleased "teacher model" (similar to Mythos Preview), rather than Mythos distilling into Fable.
