User reports Anthropic's Fable 5 is too restrictive for engineering projects

A user on Reddit expressed frustration with Anthropic's Fable 5 model, citing overly restrictive content filters that prevent its use in university engineering projects. The user reported that the model frequently blocks responses, even after extensive editing and explicit instructions not to access past conversations. This user, who recently purchased a 200 Euro plan, stated they would unsubscribe if the restrictions persist, noting a perceived decrease in quality from Opus 5. AI
