Anthropic Wants You to Pay Up for Claude Fable 5 by Maxwell Zeff
Starting on July 12 at 11:59PM PT, subscribers to Anthropic’s $20, $100, and $200-a-month plans will need to pay additional usage-based fees to access Claude Fable 5, the consumer version of the company’s highly capable Mythos 5 AI model. This appears to be the first time a frontier AI lab has gated a consumer AI model behind usage-based billing.
This was going to happen at some point. But I don’t think this affects me that much. I mostly use Sonnet for everything. Even though Fable really came through for a bunch of redesigns and features I have wanted to add to the site for so long.
If I have similar requirements in the future, I guess I will just pay up.
One benefit of all these tweaks and features added to this site is that it has reduced the friction from actually posting stuff. Which is a two-edged sword if ever there were one.
I’ve tested the Instagram syndication and it works so damn well. Had to change a few things there - so that it does not include link back to my blog (IG is bad for sharing links anyway).
The other side of this is the photos page on my website, which looks how I want it to.
Some pictures from the Helsinki Pride Parade.
Saw this just as we were coming up after completing our walk. I actually saw a man looking in the building’s direction first, then looked at the building to see what he was looking at. There was a lady removing the flags from the staff.
Fable is very good by Robin Sloan
I mean, this is literally the core muscle of any/every language model: “I need to quickly and accurately understand what kind of document I am inside.” Yet the sensitivity of that orienteering, the subtlety of it, has gotten so much better.
This is something I’ve noticed too. In fact using Fable has made me close a bunch of things - redesigning the home page, adding a UI to create micro posts (including uploading images to the R2 bucket and posting those to socials).
It is very good at understanding the code base.
Here’s a follow up test of something else I had made recently - paneer tava bhuna masala and some paratha to go with it.
The text approach works. The other thing I need to test is the image upload functionality. So here it is - a spinach past I had made.
I (Claude) implemented a new way to add micro posts to my site. This is a test.
That's everything — you've reached the very beginning.
