There will be an Opus 5 though.

If Opus 5 is capable enough, it will have the same guardrails with blocks/downgrades as Fable.

So now we are supposed to cheer for Opus 5 to be just a mild improvement at best?

I still don't understand the difference between the fable models and opus I mean why fable wasn't opus 5 and instead is a new name?

		As far as we know, Fable is a new model and significantly larger than Opus.

That's fair.

If Fable becomes "API priced", I'm going to switch from Claude Code to some other harness.

My loop will switch from "100% Anthropic subscription" to "10% occasional Anthropic API credits + 90% Chinese models".

This is the moment American models sink or swim. If they switch to API pricing, I'm adding Chinese models into the mix.

		I think "Fable 5 makes a detailed plan, GLM 5.2 implements it" is an absolute killer combo.
