I'm really disappointed with Anthropic that they wont even mention if they will release a fable-like model with the subscription plans.

If Opus 4.8 is the best model they will release on the subscriptions I may be too tall for the ride...which is sad, they have been my favorite of the labs until this.

@AnyoneAtAnthropic, all we want are assurance we will still get SOTA models that are continuously improving, not regressing and getting more locked down. That's going to be who wins this race.

I believe this is just their strategy to migrate away from these “almost all you can eat” subscription plans. Rather than reducing / removing Opus or Sonnet from the plans, they’ll just keep the new model Fable out (which may as well have been called Opus 5), and slowly everyone starts getting used to the new normal that you indeed will be having to pay API prices to get access to these models.

Until 7th,Fable is twice expensive in subscription tokens than Opus. They are testing if they can introduce 400 dollars Fable subscription.

		This sort of thing drives people to more open competitors. I use both every day and Opus isn't that much better than the Chinese SOTA. If corporate policy allowed me to use GLM or DeepSeek I absolutely would. Claude is already pricey for what it offers.
