Runway founder Siqi Chen jokes that Anthropic's Dario Amodei is delaying a 'fable' release at a wellness retreat
Story Overview
Siqi Chen's public jab at Dario Amodei's potential wellness retreat unavailability captures the mounting insider impatience around Fable access, as the Anthropic model briefly launched in early June only to face an abrupt global suspension tied to export controls before partial restoration began on July 1.
Regulatory Pause Shaped Rollout Timeline
Fable 5 launched June 9 with strong benchmark results across coding, vision, and research tasks before US export controls halted availability worldwide on June 12; enhanced classifiers cleared the path for gradual re-enablement starting July 1 via select Claude platforms.
Exact User Access Remains Unclear
Restored access covers Pro, Max, Team and some Enterprise plans at reduced weekly limits through July 7, yet individual status for figures like Siqi Chen and precise timing across every region or integration stays unspecified in current details.
Many users criticized Anthropic's poor communications and timing around the delayed Fable announcement, mocking Dario Amodei's absence and calling the rollout unprofessional.

@blader Asking myself the same thing, lol
@blader I just don't understand their comms.
Why not wait another 24 hours or whatever until you're actually ready to release it, then announce a staggered 24 hour rollout so usage isn't slammed - but everyone gets 8 days to use it from whenever they get access - notified by email.
