Microsoft restricts Claude Fable for employees over data retention concerns

The Verge·June 10, 2026

Microsoft is restricting employee access to Claude Fable, a new AI model from Anthropic, due to concerns over data retention requirements. The model, which was recently released, is not available for internal use by Microsoft employees, unlike other Claude models that operate under Zero Data Retention rules. Microsoft had rolled out Claude Fable to its GitHub Copilot and Foundry customers, but employees are limited from using it internally. The restriction highlights Microsoft's cautious approach to data handling and retention policies.
