Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:MSFT)<\/a> CEO Satya Nadella criticized Anthropic’s Fable 5 model in an internal meeting with Copilot engineers, saying the AI’s refusal of certain requests feels “editorially controlled” and “doesn’t make sense,” CNBC reported. <\/p>\n

“If you use Fable, when it refuses for any random thing, it just is like, when was the last time you had a creation tool that was so editorially controlled?” Nadella told the engineers. “It doesn’t make sense.” <\/p>\n

Nadella also weighed in on the broader question of AI concentration, arguing against a market dominated by a small number of players. “It can’t be that there are only two companies in the world with token capital, and everybody else is renting it,” he said. <\/p>\n

Anthropic restored access to Fable on July 1 after suspending the model to comply with a U.S. government export control directive. The company said at the time that the updated safeguards would flag a somewhat higher share of harmless requests than the previous version had. A support page indicates that queries touching on certain elements of large-scale model development, among other subjects, may be handled by an earlier version of Fable rather than the current one. <\/p>\n

Microsoft has committed $5 billion to Anthropic, while Anthropic has pledged to direct $30 billion toward Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform. Microsoft also launched Copilot Cowork this year, a workplace productivity offering built around Anthropic’s technology. <\/p>\n
