Anthropic Integrates 'Fable 5' into Formal Pricing Plans...Ending Promotion with 50% Limit

Anthropic is ending its temporary free promotion for 'Fable 5' and transitioning to a formal paid plan. The move consolidates previous full-access policies, which were extended to counter GPT-5.6's competitive pressure, and shifts toward revenue generation and usage control. Starting July 20, Fable 5 will be included in all Max and Team Premium plans with weekly usage limits set at 50%. Pro and Team Standard users will access Fable via usage credits and receive a one-time $100 credit. The policy change reflects challenges in predicting demand for Fable 5, which consumes weekly limits rapidly due to its large parameter count and multi-inference capabilities. Anthropic cited difficulties in accurately forecasting market demand and standardized 50% usage limits for top-tier plans to improve service predictability.
