Competition. If Anthropic had followed through on their plan to put Fable under API pricing, users would have jumped ship en masse to GPT 5.6 (or perhaps to K3 if it turns out to be good enough.)

Theoretically it'll still happen tomorrow. But we'll see--I think they've extended it twice?

My understanding is that they are no longer threatening to do it, it's part of the Max plan now (which I use.) The $20/month subscribers might still have to pay as they go, though.

		I hope so! In the model selector in claude code in the browser it still says "Available until July 19" next to Fable. Also on Friday I did get an error while using Fable that said something like "This model requires API credits to use" but that disappeared after about 20 minutes....

		As one of them, I'm just gonna buy another $20 subscription to OpenAI and use Sol while that's available. Why on earth would I do anything else? Fable is not magical enough to pay for credits for it with the current competition.

Anthropic gave up. A $200 Max sub now gets you access to Fable 5.

Anthropic's game is over.
