Anthropic's Most Powerful AI Model Won't Answer Basic Biology Questions
The Verge·Thursday, 11 June 2026
Anthropic released Claude Fable 5, calling it the most powerful AI model it has ever made widely available, and specifically praised its biology skills. But when asked basic biology questions — the kind a high schooler could handle — the model refuses and redirects users to its older flagship model instead. The contradiction between the launch claims and actual behaviour has raised eyebrows.
Why It Matters
If one of the world's top AI labs ships a model that won't answer high-school biology, it raises real questions about whether AI safety restrictions have gone too far — or are being applied inconsistently.
