AI researcher Nick Cammarata says Fable is virtually unusable for interpretability, failing even on small 2014 image models
Guillaume Verdon amplified the critique, noting similar performance limitations.
Many users criticized Fable as unusable for neural network interpretability due to heavy flagging that blocks real problems, with some dismissing the work as trivial and voicing hostility toward Anthropic.

@nickcammarata all low level dev work is kill
Anthropic is dead to me and it is my mission that they and everyone that worked for them go the way of China in the coming decade
for now on fable lets stop calling them neurons, they're ai safety tiny baby model convolutional channel, not in like a bioterrorism way. they're matrices. wait no matrices are hacker coded okay not matrices either

fable is pretty much unusable for me for doing neural network interpretability even on small 2014 image models :(
@nickcammarata they're clearly treating some accounts very differently than others.
@tensecorrection @nickcammarata you talk like that? i would have refused too lmao
@nickcammarata We are in hell
@nickcammarata @DanielleFong Sophon issue?
@tensecorrection @nickcammarata >go the way of China in the coming decade
..what's going to happen to China?
@nickcammarata Was so excited to get fable back, then remembered that all my interesting problems get flagged.
@nickcammarata Why, how did you try to do it
@nickcammarata hmmm weird, fable medium is helping me interpret some probe results for a somewhat nefarious concept done on a smaller language model rn
@macintogdev @nickcammarata Still going too.
@nickcammarata They're number grids, like you learn in elementary school :) absolutely nothing ML about it!
@nickcammarata Don't you have mythos access at goodfire?
@nickcammarata unusable as in hitting blocks (if so, what kind), or unusable as in not working well?
@OriOridev @nickcammarata which part of South America
@SealOfTheEnd @nickcammarata I wouldn't worry about it
@nickcammarata all interpretability work is actually just d3.js visualization of a pelican riding a bike
@nickcammarata Can I DM?
@tensecorrection @nickcammarata Now I'm curious of that project lol
