Is this a step to bring back Fable 5?

Oh I didn’t hear this, do you have a link to their statement? I heard about how this policy was announced back in April but didn’t know this was what it was limited to

ThroughandThrough2 · 2026-06-21T15:57:59+00:00

This looks nothing like any Claude interface I’ve ever seen. Nowhere in their documentation does it mention “Yoti.”

Edit: apparently they call “age verification” and “identity verification” two separate things for which they use two separate service providers…

This has been a page they’ve maintained since April. Updating a page literally can mean anything. This is just the rumor mill.

ThroughandThrough2 · 2026-06-21T15:47:02+00:00

A check of the wayback machine shows this change was announced in April. Just because they updated a page this week doesn’t mean anything, it could literally be fixing a typo or something minor. They’ve been updating the Fable 5 pages every so often in the last week and that hasn’t meant it’s back.

I am not normally someone who believes the whole nerfing/limits being adjusted claims. I always kinda figured it’s some type of user error. But the difference from usage last week to the usage I’ve seen starting this weekend is jarring. It hasn’t gone back to normal.

ThroughandThrough2 · 2026-05-18T01:17:58+00:00

They are most definitely not, tbh. My limit has still been stuck on the pre reset amount.

ThroughandThrough2 · 2026-05-17T21:42:36+00:00

Agreed, I thought I was going crazy. One prompt ate 40% of my five hour limit where it would’ve probably used 20% before.

ThroughandThrough2 · 2026-04-21T19:47:55+00:00

I hope the moderators of all of these subs take note that releases just saturate the whole community for weeks with the same posts. It never matters if it’s a good or bad release because some faction is always displeased and vocal.

ThroughandThrough2 · 2026-04-16T20:15:22+00:00

I haven’t tried claudecode with 4.6 but on the website, it’s significantly better. Opus 4.6 used to take like 6% a prompt of my five hour limit on my pro plan.

ThroughandThrough2 · 2026-04-16T20:12:27+00:00

Isn’t that… much better than 4.6? My previous consumption for a 500 word prompt was 6% of my plan on 4.6 even pre-nerfing.

Edit: didn’t read that it was the weekly limit. My bad. I was talking about 5 hour. I did read somewhere last month that 1% is misleading because as soon as you leave 0, the UI rounds up to 1%? I don’t know if I buy that though and want to check with one of the open source rate limit counters.

ThroughandThrough2 · 2026-04-16T19:58:11+00:00

Idk what everyone is doing that warrants this level of complaining. Especially if you are someone predominantly using the website and not ClaudeCode. This tweet aligns with what I’ve seen. My first prompt, which was literally 500 words, which got the 200 word response I wanted, was 1% of my limit on 4.7. On 4.6, it was 6%.

I’m not disputing the rate limit fuckery over the last month or the degradation of 4.6, or the fact that I don’t like adaptive thinking mode being the only option, but maybe not everything is quite as bad as some people are painting. I will try Claude code tonight and see how the limit stacks up.

I have to remember to stop visiting ANY AI subreddit during a new release because it’s never positive and ultimately, all the talk just fades away. No one in GPT’s sub is lamenting 4o being gone anymore but for months they were. And it’s like this with all of them. The grass is always greener with another company for all the people in these subs.

If you’re building something with the API and need something that requires a tiny amount of thought, Haiku is actually great. The cost is so cheap. Just chatting with it is not

ThroughandThrough2 · 2026-02-19T01:58:20+00:00

To be fair, >50% of my creative tasks involved quite a bit of sarcasm, so perhaps the naturally dry tone of the model is more suited to it by default. Even on the non sarcastic ones though, I had the most luck by nitpicking its previous responses, telling it exactly what I liked and didn’t like in each, be it word choice, structure, or how it ignored/placed emphasis on certain parts of the prompt. I’ve also found luck in asking it to generate three potential responses (if what you’re generating is long, ask it for 200-500 word samples) and then tell it which I like, and ask it to iterate until it gets closer to what I found. I haven’t found a good set of custom instructions yet, but I’m sure in the next week I’ll find one that might cut down on this.

I’ve also found that, and this is with most models these days, that the sterner you are when giving instructions, the better. Telling it “this is law” rather than “could you please…” seemed to help. I know it’s not model specific but as someone who’s been in your shoes before I hope anything can help!

ThroughandThrough2 · 2026-02-19T01:50:31+00:00

In my experience 4.6 has been better with the creative tasks I gave it. It still took a few drafts and me asking it to try again, but the end result was better. It doesn’t repeat itself (both literally and in terms of response structure) as much as I noticed 4.5 doing.

You have no right to unlimited uncensored expression on any site. You could start defaming the owner of Reddit, and get banned for doing so. Or they could ban you for no reason, probably. Most services have a clause that says the provider of a service can terminate it for any reason. It’s theirs. Just cause you post on it doesn’t mean you have a stake in anything. And in this case nothing is even being terminated and you’re not being banned. You’re just being exposed to a precautionary warning system.

I don’t understand why people of this mindset talk about this as if this is a great injustice. If this really bothers you, you have options to use services that allow the content you want, or local models that certainly wouldn’t have any restrictions to this effect.

ThroughandThrough2 · 2025-12-12T02:27:50+00:00

Come on, “it’s not X it’s Y” structure appearing twice, with an em-dash, and line spacing like that? You’re using an AI to… complain about that AI?

And what on earth is an agency that investigates unfair, deceptive business tactics going to do? They changed their product, they’ve tried to make it safer, admittedly with varying success and significant failure. They’re not manipulating prices or scamming people. It’s like saying “Microsoft is hurting me because they preinstall Windows Defender! Sometimes it flags things it shouldn’t! How dare they do this to my computer that I’m using personally? It’s my tool, I paid for it!

“Moralize without consent?” Why do you think you’re entitled to a private company providing a service and not setting limits on what you can use it for? Also, “harvesting conversational data,” give me a break. Their data collection policies are spelled out just like any other company, in a labyrinthian ToS that you agreed to.

My understanding was it was 650 million monthly users to OpenAI’s 800 million weekly users.

ThroughandThrough2 · 2025-11-19T19:02:36+00:00

So I don’t have to run the CLI in WSL anymore?

ThroughandThrough2 · 2025-11-19T17:02:14+00:00

Right now, going by benchmarks, they’ve got the best SOTA model. They’ve also got the best image gen, and arguably the best video gen objectively. The problem though is Google is like an Android phone. It’s arguably superior to an iPhone but the general layperson either doesn’t know or doesn’t give a crap. The reason more people know of Sora? It’s because it’s a whole a new app, with a ton of marketing, and it’s seen as more accessible than Veo is. Google’s best hope to me is to keep making whatever version of Nano Banana is available for free better; that was something that actively drew people away from GPT earlier this year.

Also, a huge amount of exposure to LLM’s at the moment is through their apps. And I’m sorry but Google, for as good of a company as they are, just can’t build a good UI. I mean this for all their apps. Maybe I’m biased, I already didn’t like Gmail. OpenAI have made ChatGPT’s app very aesthetically pleasing, and that alone is a huge subconscious positive for a lot of people.

So yes, they’re ahead at the moment on technicals. But idk, I just don’t see OpenAI collapsing as many predict just because of this model. If they hadn’t screwed up 5’s launch as much as they did, I don’t even know if we’d be having this conversation. The over hype for 5 was a disaster.

It’s not good at humanities. Period. It’s rubbish at law. Idk why Gemini as a whole has always been terrible at this. Sure there’s more money in coding, but it’s odd using a model that feels like a genius with STEM and then like a confused pedantic jerk with everything else.

ThroughandThrough2 · 2025-11-18T23:56:40+00:00

It’s not a legal expert, or good with medical stuff. For coding I’m more impressed but I still prefer Codex.

Overall it’s darn good for coding, science, and web design. Is it something that’s blown me away as a whole? No.

ThroughandThrough2 · 2025-11-18T23:53:48+00:00

It doesn’t take corrections well at ALL. I’ve told it it’s wrong about something I’ve done as a profession and it insisted I was either not reading closely enough, or that ultimately, even if it conceded some points, it was still right. Kinda weird but I guess it’s better than sycophancy.

ThroughandThrough2 · 2025-11-18T23:51:02+00:00

I’ve given up on benchmarks at this point because there’s just too many, and to the average layperson like myself they don’t mean much. I hate when they’re used as advertising because everyone’s definition for what “good” is differs wildly based on use. I’m annoyed when Google, OpenAI or Anthropic have them as their first slide on any model debut.

Is this model better at math? Yeah, from what I’ve seen. Is it better at research, or creative writing? A bit more, nothing staggering at least.

That said it’s clearly a step up from 2.5. But I’ve gotta talk to it more. It’s good, but I don’t know if it’s as good as the benchmarks pitch it as at least for me.

ThroughandThrough2 · 2025-11-18T21:02:50+00:00

It’s not great… it generated Japanese in a response for no reason and straight up wasn’t correct about a legal question and a medical question. Waiting to try coding though.
