Your Frontier Model Trial Expires Tomorrow

Description

A cropped section of an Anthropic announcement says demand for "Fable 5" is expected to be "very high, and difficult to predict" and that the model is fully available on the Claude API and consumption-based Enterprise plans. It explains that subscription access will roll out conservatively: "From today through June 22, Fable 5 is included on Pro, Max, Team, and seat-based Enterprise plans at no extra cost." The next bullet states, "On June 23, we’ll remove Fable 5 from those plans. Using it after that will require usage credits. If capacity allows, we’ll extend the included window," with the removal sentence highlighted in pale red and "usage credits" underlined. The screenshot emphasizes the abrupt transition from bundled access to metered billing, illustrating how scarce inference capacity and unpredictable demand shape access to frontier models.
