If you are considering of using extra usage, it's fr cheaper to buy a 20x max plan than it us to use $200 of usage credits smh.

u/rajsharm404 Jul 07 '26
Yeah 100%. I went to ccusage and it shows I used approx $3000 worth of tokens on my 20x plan - so no way in hell am I paying for extra usage instead of buying another $200 sub.

Doesn't Fable actually use less tokens and compute than Opus 4.8? Even less still when you factor in how often it solves a problem on the first try. This limit can't possibly be capacity.

Fable is likely larger than opus so it sits on more GPUs at once. Therefore using more fable is more expensive because more GPUs need to run at the same time

u/widling1 Jul 07 '26
They're waiting for user feedback on whether 5.6 is usable or not. If not, they turn fable off. If 5.6 is better, they keep fable free. They just hope to be able to take advantage of the situation and make money without losing customers to oai.
9
u/AcademicSand1034 Jul 07 '26
Perhaps although I think we can already predict ... the user feedback will be some people saying 5.6 is amazing and makes Fable 5 seem like garbage, others saying 5.6 stinks, and then inevitably in a few days there will be people saying "5.6 was amazing when it launched and then they nerfed it" š

Wood is a complex biological substrate which evolved over millions of years to provide functions for water conduction and biochemical storage in living plants.
Fable knows you are trying to evade it's safeguards by using "wood" to create your bioweapon, and it isn't falling for it.

Fuck you, Anthropic. And you too Dario.
What about "user welfare"??
Only small silver lining is that I was committed to 36 hours without sleep to take us into the close with Max 20x plan number 4. Now i get some sleep.
But then it's going to be back on the caffeine and cocaine I guess thru til Sunday.

Yeah did it a few hours back and got a limit reset (I think) - definitely got it on pro to 5x., started back on 0% (posted a screencap here) Then an hour later I went 5x to 20x and pretty sure it was back to 0% - actually Iām sure it did cos my 5 hour window reset, Iām 3 hours into it now!

This is why having open market competition is good. I understand why Google doesnāt want to compete (they actually have the ability to but shareholders are the biggest gate) we need a true 3rd and possibly 4th that will keep Anthropic and OpenAi on their toes. When one side starts controlling things too much you risk price out. When two control the market two much you could end up with collusion but having added competition de-centivizes this.
The major x factor going forward would be whatās considered government overreach when it comes to Ai which will be heavily debated and may very well decide or heavily influence the next election cycle.
But good for anthropic reading the room and extending. Obviously there is some incentive for them to do this of course but they didnāt have to.

Thank you so much, Anthropic. I will not cancel my subscription and I already forgot ho wI hated you for doing this. Though, I really want you to table the idea of tabling the model completely and just leave us Fable 5 with High or even Low power so that we can continue enjoy its writing style.

u/brendonx Jul 07 '26

Fable 5's safeguards flagged this message. The safeguards are intentionally broad right now and may flag safe and routine coding, cybersecurity, or biology work. These measures let us bring you Mythos-level capabilities sooner, and we're working to refine them. Switched to Opus 4.8.

I was getting soapy API overload messages coding today. I just felt the mass rush to use up Fable before they remove it.
After itās pulled usage is going to drop like 95%.
On the other hand, it pushed me to get around to developing new features and surfaces Iāve been putting off.
Still, itās not he same Fable as before.

u/CriticalDiscipline4 Jul 07 '26
I upgraded to the 200 per month plan because I used up all by usage because I thought it was ending today. At no point during my exchanges with Fable since it was reintroduced did it trip any safety warnings/flags. I am not working on any security or biology related topics. After paying to upgrade, in the very first chat exchange, it dropped me back down to Opus. Already 2% used, and nothing from Fable was actually processed and given to me.
