Key claims and evidence
Key claims in source A
- Fable 5 should return to subscriptionsIn a post on X, the engineer said Anthropic has heard questions about Fable's availability on subscription plans.

Key claims in source B
- Each extension was announced via Anthropic's official @claudeai account on X.
- On software engineering benchmarks, Fable 5 posted 80.3% on SWE-Bench Pro according to Anthropic's own evaluation using Anthropic's scaffolding — a figure that has not been independently replicated on the same benchmark…
- Pro and Team Standard subscribers will not, per Anthropic's July 17 announcement.
- The split comes with an important asterisk for Max and Team Premium users: Fable 5 is included at 50% of their standard weekly usage limits, and those standard limits will themselves shrink on the same day when the 50%…
