Anthropic extends Claude Fable 5 access through July 19
The company is keeping Fable 5 available past July 12, with weekly rate limits for Claude Code set 50% higher, after a prior U.S. ban and global pull for a jailbreak issue.
Anthropic is extending access to its Claude Fable 5 model through July 19, according to Decrypt. The extension applies to all paid plans, and Claude Code’s weekly rate limits will remain 50% higher during the extended window.
Decrypt reports that Fable 5 has faced repeated schedule changes for when it would move behind a usage-credits paywall. Anthropic initially planned the move for July 7, then pushed it to July 12, and now again to July 19, with each deadline reportedly announced hours before the cutoff rather than through a formal post.
The move comes after the model was banned by the U.S. government on June 12 following findings by Amazon researchers. Decrypt says the researchers identified a jailbreak that could turn the model into an unintended vulnerability scanner, prompting Anthropic to pull Fable 5 globally for 19 days, add a new safety classifier, and bring it back on July 1.
Decrypt also ties the extension to subscription economics, saying the risk is that if Fable 5 exits subscriptions after July 19, Anthropic’s best option for paying customers would shift to Opus 4.8, which Decrypt says Luna already beats on coding at lower cost.
Additionally, Decrypt cites benchmark results showing close competition on intelligence while leaning toward OpenAI’s Sol for coding efficiency. It reports Sol scoring 80 versus Fable 5 at 77.2 on Artificial Analysis, Sol hitting 53.6% versus 40.5% on Agents’ Last Exam across 55 fields, and Sol reaching 91.9% versus 83.1% on Terminal-Bench 2.1 in ultra mode.
