Fable gets another bump

Simon Willison · 3 days ago

Anthropic extended the availability of Claude Fable 5 through July 19 across all paid plans, keeping it accessible at half of weekly usage limits. The deadline has been pushed back multiple times due to compute constraints, while OpenAI removed usage restrictions on GPT-5.6 Sol and reported 6 million active users. The uncertainty around Fable's permanent status is giving OpenAI a competitive advantage in retaining subscribers.
