The two versions share an underlying model, with stricter safeguards for cybersecurity and biology tasks in the broadly available Fable. Fable blocks fewer requests Fable’s safety classifiers block high-risk cybersecurity tasks such as penetration testing and exploit generation, as well as most biology research tasks.
