Credit: Mitja Rutnik / Android AuthorityTL;DRAfter its re-release for users worldwide last week, Claude Fable 5 is being restricted again.Unlike last time, this isn’t on orders of the US government but Anthropic’s own.Instead of regular Claude subscriptions, Fable 5 will require users to switch to a credit-based payment system.Fable 5, Anthropic’s most powerful Claude model yet, debuted last month. Just days later, well before anyone could truly test its widely discussed ability to launch full-blown cyberattacks, the US government curbed exports and prevented users from other countries from accessing it, citing national security concerns. Even though Fable 5 returned last week, it will soon be gone again for most of the users.That’s because starting tomorrow, July 8 (12 AM, Pacific Time), Claude will restrict Fable 5 usage to pay-per-use accounts only. That means, even if you have a Pro account for Claude, you wouldn’t be able to access the newer model and would only be limited to the less formidable ones, such as Opus 4.8, Haiku 4.5, and the newly launched Sonnet 5.
