Anthropic Blocks Biology Database Access in Fable 5 Safety Routing

Anthropic's new model reportedly includes guardrails that prevent certain biological research queries — a safety measure that has drawn mixed reactions from researchers.

The restriction appears to be part of Anthropic's broader safety routing architecture, which gates different capabilities based on user verification and use case.
