Anthropic says Claude Fable 5 won't be accessible via Claude subscriptions after July 7, but it's not a permanent change, and the company expects the model to return outside the usage-based plan soon.
Fable 5 was recently restored after the US government lifted export controls on Anthropic's most powerful models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5.
As part of the redeployment, Anthropic said Fable 5 would be available globally on Claude.ai, Claude Code, Claude Cowork, and the Claude Platform.
However, Anthropic has restricted Claude Fable usage due to high demand, and plans to move the model to usage-based billing next week.
"For Pro, Max, Team, and select Enterprise plans, Fable 5 will be included for up to 50% of weekly usage limits through July 7, after which it will be available via usage credits," Anthropic said in its original blog post.
