Fable 5.1 drops medical refusals, but its 85% life-sciences claim draws scrutiny

JeremyNguyenPhD · x · 2026-09-06

Users report Fable 5.1 answers medical questions without refusals or being rerouted to Opus, a clear improvement over Fable 5's public release. Critics question the claimed 85% figure: it's unclear whether it comes from in-house evals or independent testing, and who defines what counts as life-sciences R&D — a detailed personal diagnosis question could still trip the guardrails.
