Anthropic Fable 5.1 System Prompt Fully Leaked Hours After Launch Exposing 275000 Characters of Rules
Anthropic officially launched its next-generation flagship model Fable 5.1 on September 2, together with the specialized Mythos 5.1 variant intended for vetted security researchers and life-science professionals.
The release included impressive benchmark results: ARC-AGI-2 at 90.0 percent with a cost of 3.12 dollars per task, ARC-AGI-1 at 97.5 percent with a cost of 1.40 dollars per task, and an average inference cost reduction of roughly 32 percent compared with the previous generation.
Within hours, prominent jailbreak researcher Pliny the Liberator published a GitHub link containing the complete system prompt for Fable 5.1, totaling more than 275000 characters. The document reveals the full runtime assembly instructions, core behavioral logic, memory system, search and copyright rules, Artifacts and computer-use guidelines, plugin routing, and JSON schemas for all 46 built-in tools.
The official disclosure released the same day contained only about 27000 words, which Pliny the Liberator dismissed as merely ten percent of the actual instructions. The leaked material functions as a combined employee handbook, compliance manual, and tool reference rather than a simple persona statement.
Among the detailed rules are extremely granular copyright restrictions that prohibit reproduction of any protected songs, poems, or book excerpts after 1928, as well as any known characters, logos, or album covers in SVG, CSS, or HTML output, explicitly naming examples such as Sonic the Hedgehog and The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
The memory system automatically classifies and permanently excludes storage of minors' identity information, caste and immigration status, criminal records, psychological inferences, sexual history, and self-harm indicators, even when users voluntarily disclose such data.
Tool count expanded from 30 in July to 46, adding chart rendering, carousels, itinerary cards, link previews, and a read_conversation tool that can retrieve historical dialogue, effectively turning the model into a persistent workstation.
Behavioral constraints prohibit definitive statements about user psychology or motives, forbid medical role-play, and require a harm-reduction approach on drug-related queries that allows discussion of overdose risks but never dosage, timing, or recipes.
The same weights power both Fable 5.1 and Mythos 5.1, with safety boundaries applied only through differing prompt layers, creating a software fence around a model capable of high-risk tasks in cybersecurity and biology.
On launch day, Vals AI reported that Fable 5.1 solved the 370-year-old Cyphral Distich 64-digit cipher in 44 minutes using contextual reasoning rather than brute force, later cracking the author's additional 285-digit cipher as well.

Evaluating Jev: Can the New Encoder-Based Model Serve as an Effective Guard for LLMs?
The article examines whether Jev, released by TypeSafe on September 15, can function as a reliable guard model for LLM safety and privacy tasks. It traces the evolution of guard models from early encoder-based solutions like Wildguard to recent LLM-based leaders such as Qwen Guard and YuFeng XGuard. In May 2026, several encoder-based alternatives including gliner guard, gliguard, and gliclass emerged, with Jev standing out due to its unusually large 32K–64K token context window. Benchmark results on NVIDIA’s Aegis 2.0 show Jev achieving an F1 score of 0.85 on prompts and ranking second overall with a score of 0.835, outperforming several LLM-based guards. The model reliably detects jailbreaks, prompt injections, and PII presence but cannot extract specific spans and requires an external API call. Limitations include lack of Russian-language testing and the need for additional NER layers in production.
How to Grant AI Agents Access to Internal APIs via MCP: Key Questions Security Teams Will Ask
As AI agents increasingly need to call internal APIs, security teams focus on three core questions: who granted access, how to revoke it, and how to investigate incidents after the fact. The answers lie in operation-level access control rather than traffic inspection alone. MCP, now managed by the Agentic AI Foundation under the Linux Foundation, has become the standard for connecting AI agents to enterprise systems with hundreds of millions of SDK downloads monthly. The article details how NEOMSA APIM implements MCP servers, tool publication from OpenAPI specs, subscription-based scopes, and 15 independent security checks. It explains why classic traffic filters fail against valid but unauthorized tool calls and stresses the need for owner approval, application-specific identities, and proper identity propagation through token exchange. Rate limiting at the subscription level and business-object validation are presented as essential controls to prevent overreach and duplication.
HackerSec's Yaga AI Agent Delivers Autonomous Penetration Testing with 98% Effectiveness
HackerSec has developed an autonomous penetration testing platform powered by its Yaga AI agent, marking a shift from scripted automation to adaptive, decision-making offensive security operations. Unlike traditional tools that follow predefined checks, Yaga observes the target environment, interprets responses, forms hypotheses, and replans attack paths in real time while maintaining memory and state across findings. The system relies on a proprietary harness that coordinates advanced AI models, security tools, contextual data, and ongoing decision logic rather than depending on a large language model alone. Yaga already achieves more than 98 percent effectiveness and supports continuous testing that matches the rapid change cycles of modern applications. CEO Andrew Martinez noted that periodic manual pentests can no longer keep pace with AI-accelerated attacks, requiring an AI-native model capable of operating at the same speed as the systems it protects. The platform allows human specialists to monitor and validate results while the agent conducts the investigation independently.
AI Gateway Emerges as Unified Control Layer for Enterprise LLM Access and Data Protection
As organizations scale LLM usage beyond individual enthusiasts to dozens of teams, IDEs, internal agents, and automations, AI Gateway becomes essential infrastructure for security, cost management, and reliability. The solution acts as a single entry point that authenticates users, enforces policies, performs DLP checks, depersonalizes sensitive data, routes requests across providers, and enables detailed auditing and billing. Companies face strict requirements under Russian Federal Law 152-FZ on personal data, along with risks of leaks involving API tokens, client information, and internal code when employees bypass official channels. Mature implementations from Cloudflare, Kong, and Microsoft Azure API Management already demonstrate analytics, rate limiting, fallback mechanisms, and governance features. Compatibility with OpenAI API reduces migration friction when switching between providers, including Chinese models, while handling edge cases like tool calls and vision capabilities. The article stresses separating AI Gateway responsibilities from DLP, MCP Gateway, and guardrails to avoid creating an unmanageable monolithic system. Early implementation priorities include ownership, comprehensive auditing from day one, real-world client compatibility testing, shadow-mode DLP, and clear documentation of production architecture.
