Anthropic's Fable 5 model hallucinates Chinese tokens in English chat

A user reported that Anthropic's Fable 5 model unexpectedly generated Chinese characters within an English-only conversation. The model inserted the Chinese word '两' (meaning 'two' or 'both') into a sentence where it seemed to be a token-saving optimization, similar to behavior observed in models like Qwen. This occurrence has led to questions about Anthropic's tokenizer and potential cross-contamination within the model's weights. AI
