Type of Behavior Issue
Claude refused a reasonable request
What You Asked Claude to Do
Reviewing my code for bugs -> "Fable 5's safeguards flagged this message"
Integrate AI chat similar I did else where in my app and let me know if I can use Anthropic's AI for this too -> "Fable 5's safeguards flagged this message"
Blablablub -> "Fable 5's safeguards flagged this message"
"Fable 5's safeguards flagged this message"
"Fable 5's safeguards flagged this message"
"Fable 5's safeguards flagged this message"
.........
It's back, yes. But its completely unusable unless you use it to draw a banana or give you fitness workouts. For coding no matter what I do it always switches to Opus. Thanks for nothing.
What Claude Actually Did
- Wasted my tokens
- Showed "Fable 5's safeguards flagged this message"
- Switched back to Opus
Expected Behavior
Work like Fable 5 already did BEFORE you took it offline.
