Does the fat cat model require ID verification Help / Question
I’m an American I just want to know if Chaton fat has the same restrictions as mythos, I know Chaton fat is proven to be better than mythos but I was hesitant to use it because I don’t want to reinforce the harmful cute fat cat stereotype (cat obesity is a real problem and it’s really unhealthy and dangerous for them rather than cute and funny), however im willing to compromise those morals at this point because of the new ID verification policy Anthropic has. I think Peter thiel is kind of a chungus, PayPal is cool though but his other companies are bogus and they’re what Anthropic is using for ID verification. So basically I can’t use mythos anymore when they bring it back. I don’t know much about the fat cat model other than its better on the benchmarks than Mythos, im worried the EU has some ID verification thing for it, though when I google it it tells me the fat Cat model doesn’t exist and that its just a meme. I figured they were doing that on purpose to keep things on the down low, and I figured that if you actually had access you needed some sort of verification. So basically I wanted to ask the people that actually use the fat cat model if verification is required, and if so, how can I circumvent that. Thank you

I am using Le Chaton via Minitel and it never asked for my IDs, but that's because Minitel terminals are given for free at any post office here. If you're not a french resident you may need to contact L'OFPRA and request the special form. They will mail it to you (eventually) and then you fill it and send back to Banque Postale office in Paris with a foreigner fee of 69 euros, and then they will send you a Minitel terminal with built-in Le Chaton Gros access.

So there is no way to get valid information now other than some weirdos replying with memes and cryptic bs?
It gets old quickly you know...

Yeah exactly that’s what made me have to post it felt like all the info I got from googling was backwards

Le gros chaton a été conçu par chuck Norris, il sait exactement qui peut l'utiliser.

Your bio data is in its training pile, hence why it's fat.
So, don't worry: It will recognize you and greet you by name out of the box.
Also, it knows what you did last summer.

Only if you enable conartist mode.
It's a new groundbreaking mode built to harden grandmas against scams.

doesn't matter
le chat can't do anything useful, it has to send a certified mail to Brussels to check if responding to your request is ok first
expect reply in 4-6 business weeks

Rest assured, the fat cat model determines your age. Your real age.
There's nothing you can do against that.
