Three options:
- They release Opus 5 on July 19th or 21st to appease the public and remove Fable 5.
- They extend Fable 5's support again, and many people make fun of the fact that Anthropic can't withstand OpenAI's pressure.
- They find a final solution by the end of next week to ensure Fable 5's long-term viability (more computing power).
I now consider it highly unlikely that virtually nothing will happen and Fable 5 will be removed without a solution.
We're extending Claude Fable 5 access on all paid plans, as well as keeping Claude Code's weekly rate limits 50% higher, through July 19.
