Claude Fable is useless for bioinformaticians

It’s infuriating any simple request related to common bioinformatics work and computational biology is flagged. Like we are we are trying to weaponize viruses or create anthrax!

Life science users, what’s been your experience?

You need to apply specifically to their program to get access to unlobotomized models. They also have a separate app here for sciences: https://claude.com/product/claude-science

Is this available for the average PhD student?

I assume it'd be through your university so you'd have to ask them or maybe email the AI companies yourself.

After it returned it has become significantly dumber, I see that across Claude models maybe they applied all the inbuilt policy restrictions, I guess.

I agree!
