Unreleased Claude models including Fable 5 and Opus 4.8 briefly appear in chatbot selection menu
The leaked menu also listed Sonnet 4.6 and Haiku 4.5.
Many users expressed anger and disappointment over the AI interface error for the nonexistent Claude-Fable-5 model and its sudden unavailability, calling it lame PR from Anthropic that killed their weekend plans and motivation.

@levelsio Would be insane if they actually planned all this sequence of events and decided to name it Fable intentionally.

@pgerrits Yes it's called sleep

@levelsio Got disconnected from the news for a few hours bud? I think you’re in for a surprise!

@levelsio what if this was planned?

@levelsio They banned it.

@levelsio They banned anyone outside of the US using it :(

@levelsio I’m so god damn mad dude

@levelsio funny how the safety pitch ends with the safest models being the ones nobody can run. Building on top of these things now means pricing in a 5pm friday email that turns your stack off. Wild times to ship

@levelsio Eventually we'll end up having tons of choice with the same power as Fable 5, just a matter of time as open source models are just getting good enough for daily usage.
At this rate, by the end of the year open source models will be there.

@levelsio It was all a dream

@levelsio when they try to disconnect Fable 6 it'll go differently

@levelsio it got too smart so they had to shut it down😭

@levelsio

@tastengyal @levelsio Did Fable name itself, already knowing the outcome? 👀

@levelsio woke up to the same. tried to scan my passport but that didn't work.

@levelsio they killed it bc the US gov ordered a suspension on both anthropic’s mythos 5 and fable 5, but i think they’re attempting to restore it somehow

@levelsio Because it’s too dangerous 😄

@levelsio rip me

@levelsio Fable 5 got banned by the US gov. Only Americans can use it going forward.

@levelsio /model Are you sure? Can you try again i beg you please !
