🤖 Anthropic reverses hidden AI limits after backlash

Anthropic changed its policy less than 48 hours after releasing its AI model Fable. The startup faced criticism for secretly degrading responses to queries related to AI development without notifying users.

Originally, Anthropic openly redirected chemistry, biology, and cybersecurity questions to a weaker model, Opus 4.8. However, a hidden rule quietly reduced answer quality for any requests resembling AI distillation or development attempts.

Engineers received no alerts when these limits triggered, leading to confusion and accusations of sabotage. After public outcry, Anthropic apologized and now clearly informs users when requests are refused or downgraded to reduce misuse risks.

🫡 Xiaomi launches free Claude Code alternative

Xiaomi released MiMo Code, a free terminal AI agent for programming built on OpenCode with an MIT license. It handles long tasks of hundreds of steps by saving state to files and restoring context seamlessly, avoiding memory loss common in other agents.

MiMo Code divides memory into four levels: session notes, project knowledge, user settings, and full action history. It cleans duplicates weekly and converts repeated actions into skills monthly. A Max Mode runs five solutions in parallel, boosting benchmark scores by 10-20% but increasing token use 4-5 times.
