Summary
Anthropic announced that Claude Fable 5 (their most advanced AI model) will now be permanently included in Max and Team Premium subscription plans at 50% of normal usage limits, reversing an earlier plan to remove it from subscriptions. Pro and Team Standard users will keep access through usage credits and receive a one-time $100 credit, a decision driven by competition from other AI models like GPT-5.6 Sol.
