Claude make Fable 5 permanent. An update from the @claudeai account on Twitter:
Beginning July 20, Claude Fable 5 will be included in all Max and Team Premium plans, at 50% of limits.
Pro and Team Standard users will continue to have access to Fable via usage credits, and will receive a one-time $100 credit.
As I was saying last week, the competition from GPT-5.6 Sol (and maybe to a lesser extent Kimi 3) made untenable Anthropic's plan to remove Fable 5 from their subscription accounts and make it available exclusively through API pricing.
Why pay $100 or $200/month for a subscription plan that doesn't include Anthropic's best model?
Their original plan was driven by concerns over compute capacity. I wonder if they'll have to dial back their training efforts in order to make more GPUs available to help serve the model.
