Claude make Fable 5 permanent

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. A lot of people were losing sleep over trying to make the most of Fable 5 before subscriber access was withdrawn. It's nice not to have to worry about the Fablepocalypse any more. Update : Important to note that users on the $20/month plan will still not have access to Fable 5 on that subscription. The Max plans are $100 and $200/month.
