Anthropic says Claude Fable 5 will reject fewer biology-related questions after an update cut automatic fallbacks by about 85 per cent in internal testing, Times Now reports. Users should receive direct answers on common topics such as interpreting laboratory reports, understanding symptoms and learning biology concepts. The company also said healthcare professionals may get better help with some clinical tasks. Anthropic will retain restrictions on queries involving dual-use fields such as virology, toxicology and molecular design. The company says Claude Fable 5’s stronger biological capabilities could help medical research but also assist attempts to develop biological weapons. It will continue blocking some professional research involving drug development and advanced biology.
