Tradeoffs to know

  • Biology and cyber permissions remain program-gated even after an invite.

When not to use this

  • Current trusted-access rollout is limited; do not catalog it as a drop-in Fable 5.1 replacement.
  • Not ideal for simple tasks where cheaper models in the same lineup are good enough.
  • Avoid for regulated or high-stakes outputs without evaluations that mimic your tooling, data, and review process.
