Open letter to Anthropic: keep Claude Fable 5 in existing paid plans
An open letter from keepfable.org urges Anthropic to maintain Claude Fable 5 access in existing paid plans, expressing concern that the new model may be restricted to higher-tier subscriptions.
Background
- Anthropic is the AI company behind Claude, a family of large language models (LLMs) that compete with OpenAI's GPT, Google's Gemini, and Meta's Llama.<br>- "Fable" is a codename often used by Anthropic for internal model versions. "Fable 5" likely refers to a next-generation Claude model that has not yet been publicly released or announced.<br>- The open letter is from "keepfable.org" — a grassroots campaign by Claude users who fear that a new, more capable model (Fable 5) will be locked behind a higher-priced tier, similar to how OpenAI restricted GPT-4 to ChatGPT Plus subscribers.<br>- Currently, existing paid plans (Claude Pro, Claude Team) give users access to the latest available models. The letter's authors want to keep that model: new capabilities should be included in existing subscriptions, not pushed into a more expensive plan.
