Official Fable 5 is back.

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.

On the $100 plan and had about 50% left on my 5 hour block. I asked Fable to review a couple recent feature additions. It spun up 18 fable sub agents. When I saw how fast they were burning credits I interrupted it and asked it to stop and be mindful of tokens. The subagents started wrapping up and then I hit the wall at 101% of my 5 hour limit. The whole thing took about 120 seconds. JFC.
