Microsoft's Nadella criticizes Anthropic's Fable request limits

According to CNBC, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella told employees that Anthropic's restrictions on requests to its high-end Fable artificial intelligence model do not make sense. Nadella said the model's refusals for some requests were overly editorially controlled and added that the setup made no economic sense. The remarks came as Microsoft said in November it would make a $5 billion investment in Anthropic, while Anthropic agreed to spend $30 billion on Microsoft's Azure cloud. Microsoft also has drawn on Anthropic's models in its Copilot and Foundry products, and it said in April that it had more than 20 million paid seats for the work-focused Copilot.
