Fable 5 is implementing identity verification + independent billing. Is Anthropic trying to have it both ways? Even subscribers have to pay extra for credits—interesting.

Coin World News reports that Claude Fable 5 may introduce an identity verification mechanism and be billed independently of subscription plans. According to a leak from an AI technology analysis expert, analysis of the Anthropic Claude application code shows that the new Fable 5 model requires users to access it by separately purchasing usage credits, and the credits can only be added after the user completes identity verification, with billing independent of subscription plans. On June 27, Anthropic announced that its strongest cybersecurity model, Mythos 5, can be redeployed to a group of U.S. institutions. At the same time, it is continuing to work with the government to expand access to Mythos 5 and make Fable 5 available to the public again.
