Claude Fable 5 isn’t permanently leaving subscriptions, Anthropic says
Summary
Anthropic clarified that Claude Fable 5 (its most powerful AI model) will move from subscription plans to usage-based billing (a pay-per-use system where you pay for each query) after July 7, but this is temporary, not permanent. The company plans to restore Fable 5 as a standard subscription feature once it has enough computing capacity to handle the high demand.
