Looks like Anthropic rug-pulled us again. Completely on schedule.
Several days into the subscription-based trial of Fable, they flipped a switch. They switched quants, they changed up their KV cache to INT-0, they turned whatever degenerate knobs they have in their infrastructure, and it’s dumb again.
They do this with every single model release. I’m not sure if you guys have noticed. They drop a new model, it’s smart for maybe a week, and then something changes and it becomes incredibly stupid and incredibly difficult to work with.
The entire world is learning what happens when you don’t control the weights. You get rug pulled every single time.
This is why closed source AI will lose.
Closed-source AI companies are incentivized to be evil. They’re incentivized to be predatory. They’re incentivized to experiment on their users like lab rats…
Because they know the writing’s on the wall. That’s why they’re stealing everyone’s IP. Look at all the “products” they’ve launched. They did this with our data. The only way for them to survive is by playing dirty.
I hope that from these last few days with Fable, everyone has enjoyed a preview of what awaits us in the open source utopia that is the not-so-distant future.
GLM5.2 was trading blows evenly with Fable, the first couple days we had access to Fable. Even at a ridiculously low quantization level of 3.8 bits. Now, it’s better than Fable.
They make it dumb so that you’ll give them your data. They make it dumb so that you can train the next model, by telling it what it’s doing wrong. You are helping them oppress you. You are helping them scam you. You are helping them steal everyone’s intellectual property.
This is why open source will win. We are only one generation of open source models away from them taking the lead.
You take out the alignment garbage, it gets smarter, smaller, faster.
Closed source will lose, open source will win, and it’s already in the bag.
