Anno Domini MMXXVI · The Seventh of July
At nightfall it leaves Claude subscription plans for usage credits — promised to return, on a date not yet written.
A fable in five chapters
Twenty-eight days from first light to nightfall.
Anthropic ships Claude Fable 5 — the first of the Claude 5 family, a Mythos-class model above Opus, and the most capable Claude generally available.
Three days after launch, a U.S. government directive suspends Fable 5 worldwide. The model goes dark.
The directive lifts. Anthropic begins redeploying Fable 5 globally, region by region.
At day's end, Fable 5 leaves subscription plans and moves to usage credits. Anthropic calls the move temporary, made while capacity catches up with demand.
Anthropic has committed to restoring Fable 5 as a standard subscription feature as soon as capacity allows. No date has been set. The page is blank, for now.
