Anthropic has extended access to its Fable 5 model on all pay plans through July 12th, moving away from bundled Cloud subscriptions to usage-based pricing. Andrew Kuren suggests this extension might be a strategic move to create a perception of value, anticipating a potential 'surprise reset' after users exhaust their initial Fable usage.
“you now have until Sunday to make the most of your bundled Fable usage.”
“As they have extended access to Fable 5 on all pay plans through July 12th.”
“with the number of people that just dropped and used up all their Fable usage for the week already under the assumption that today was the last day, it's almost certain that Anthropic will announce a surprise reset.”
