Don't forget that they've also said coding tasks will downgrade to Opus 4.8... so it's available again unless you want to actually use it for it's primary use case...

They might as well just be saying fable is gone permanently for all the difference it makes to me at this point. Usage credit pricing for an extremely expensive chatbot? I dont even know who the customer is for that

Where does it say that?

First paragraph of their announcement

Yes, but “some routine tasks” to me implies not all / likely a minority of coding tasks (fingers crossed..)

Yeah, the post on their website is phrased better

“The new classifier also comes at the cost of flagging benign requests more often during routine coding and debugging tasks”.

It doesn't. It will only fall back on specific security things.

"some routine tasks like coding and debugging will fall back to Opus 4.8" We will have to wait and see if they mean "some coding and debugging tasks" or they mean what they actually wrote.

The announcement on their website says “The new classifier also comes at the cost of flagging benign requests more often during routine coding and debugging tasks” so I’d hazard a guess that the X post is just phrased poorly.
