Claude Fable 5’s access to be limited from today – How you pay for Anthropic’s flagship AI model

Fans of Anthropic’s Claude Fable 5, as well as AI aficionados, may start losing unbridled access to Claude Fable 5 from today.. Starting July 7, Fable 5 exits the Claude subscription plans and heads to ‘usage credits’ pay model, i.e., you pay per use. Regardless of which Claude subscription model you are on, Fable 5 is no longer free to access.

For the past month, software engineers, data scientists, and autonomous agent builders have enjoyed an “all-you-can-eat” buffet of frontier-tier AI performance, although the ban implemented by the US kept access limited to a few days.
