Microsoft restricts Claude Fable for employees over data retention concerns

The Verge
Microsoft has restricted internal access to Anthropic's Claude Fable 5 AI model due to concerns regarding data retention policies.

Summary

Microsoft has limited internal employee access to Anthropic's newly released Claude Fable 5 AI model. Unlike previous iterations that operated under Zero Data Retention rules, Claude Fable 5 requires the retention of user prompts and outputs for up to 30 days—and potentially two years for flagged content—to support new safety classifiers. Microsoft’s legal teams are currently evaluating whether these retention requirements align with the company's internal standards for protecting customer data and confidential information.
