🦋 Access to Fable 5 and 5.1 — where do things stand?
Fable 5 and, since September 1, 2026, Fable 5.1 are available on the API and usage-based Enterprise plans at $10 / $50 per million tokens. On subscriptions, since July 20: included on Max and Team Premium (up to 50% of weekly limits, at no extra cost), usage credits on Pro and Team Standard — the same rules for both versions. [Pricing and terms subject to change — check claude.com/pricing]

| Opus 5 | $5 | $25 | Close to Fable 5 at half the price (Jul. 24) — default on Max |
| Opus 4.8 | $5 | $25 | Still available (earliest retirement: May 2027) |
| Opus fast mode (5 & 4.8) | $10 | $50 | Up to 2.5× faster — for interactive uses |
| Sonnet 5 | $2 | $10 | Made permanent on September 1, 2026 (the increase to $3 / $15 will not happen) |
| Haiku 4.5 | $1 | $5 | Volume & speed |
