GPT-5.6 Suffers 'Brain Surgery', Fable 5's Return to Be a Weaker Version?
GPT-5.6 and Fable 5 Face "Lobotomization" and Restrictions
OpenAI has launched its new GPT-5.6 model in three limited tiers: Sol (advanced), Terra (balanced), and Luna (fast/economical). However, access to the most powerful Sol version is severely restricted, reportedly due to U.S. government intervention over safety concerns linked to its capabilities.
Similarly, Anthropic's Fable 5 was globally disabled for 72 hours after a demonstration revealed its potential to exploit security vulnerabilities. It is now set to return in a heavily restricted "neutered" version for select partners only.
Industry experts warn that such stringent safety "guardrails" could lead to "lobotomized" models with diminished intelligence and creativity. Developers are concerned about restricted access, potential extra costs, and models that no longer match their original promised capabilities. This marks a shift towards controlled access, contrasting with the earlier era of widely available, powerful AI.
