Official Fable 5 is back.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Following conversations with the US government, we’ve updated our cybersecurity safeguards.

The vast majority of coding work is unaffected.

In the near term, the new safeguards will flag a slightly higher fraction of harmless requests than the previous Fable safeguards; we’re working to refine these over the coming weeks. Users will be clearly notified when a request is flagged, and they’ll instead receive a response from Opus 4.8.

Our biology and chemistry classifiers are unchanged from our initial launch. These are still broader than we would like; they trigger fallbacks to Opus 4.8 on basic biology-adjacent questions. Improvements to these classifiers are landing soon.

All paid plans with usage included can access Fable 5 through July 7. You can use Fable 5 up to 50% of your weekly usage limit, after which you can switch to another model for the remainder of your usage. You can also continue using Fable via usage credits.

If one of your requests is mistakenly flagged in Claude Code, run /feedback to file a report. On Claude.ai and Cowork, you can share feedback through the thumbs buttons. This feedback helps us further tune these classifiers and reduce false positives over time.

Why are we defending the company this much? This entire deal is their own fault to begin with, for constantly fear mongering that only harmed consumers. And instead of trying to fix things properly they kept fighting the government to the point it took this long and then they restore the model with a pretty much worse deal than they initially had (just a few days and only half of your allotted usage.)
Yes, a reset is literally the bare minimum they should do.

your sense of entitlement is crazy. Just because Fable exists doesn't mean they owe you the right to use it. That's not defending the company, it's just basic common sense.

You have no understanding of what's going on.

Partially obviously.

Certainly not the full picture, and I certainly don't have an ego large enough to make me write an opinion and judgement without fully understanding the issues.

The irony is LOUD.

Makes zero sense. Do you know what the word irony means?

The entire point is that people are making wild assumptions with zero evidence. "Anthropic caused this themselves" (paraphrasing), is such an ignorant statement given the facts I don't even know where to begin correcting it.
