AI BriefingAnthropic Changes Fable 5 Subscription Policy
Key point
Anthropic has restored Fable 5 to its subscription plans but switched Pro to a token-based billing model, with only Max and Team Premium including it by default.
Details
Anthropic has changed the inclusion of Fable 5 in its subscription plans, applying a token-based billing model to Pro users. Initially included for free in all plans, it is now provided free of charge up to 50% of weekly usage only for Max and Team Premium, while Pro and Team Standard have introduced a separate credit and per-token pricing system.
Plan-Specific Changes
- Max and Team Premium: Access to Fable 5 without additional cost up to 50% of the weekly usage limit
- Pro and Team Standard: A one-time $100 credit is provided, followed by charges of $10 per input token and $50 per output token
Policy Confusion and Current Status
Although it was initially included for free in all plans upon its launch on June 9, it was removed on June 23 and then announced to be 'permanently' restored on July 20. However, the actual restoration was limited, excluding Pro users. As of now, no further plans for default inclusion in the Pro tier or a clear timeline have been announced.
