It appears to be working for me, but... Maybe it's silently degrading? It's hard to say.

It is gone for me now.

I hadn't, but then 2.1.177 dropped in on auto-update and I assumed that was going to be the end of Fable for me, but I'm still on it. At least that's what the model picker is continuing to say along with the header.

  Fable 5 with low effort · Claude Max

And now we're done. Oh well.

ssshhhh don't tell anybody it's still working, i have some stuff to do :-)

I was using Fable to review my codebase and came back from the gym an hour later to find that I had suddenly used up my entire Max plan quota for the next 5 hours

(I have never had an agent do enough to burn up the 5 hour quota on Max)

(edit: just switched my CC model to 4.8 and my 5-hr cycle reset back to 0%, even though it previously had 2 more hours to go)

I still also have access, so either they silently reroute Fable 5 to Opus 4.8 or hasn't actually pulled the switch yet.

This is just Anthropic being nice enough to wean us off before the 22nd.

It identifies as Fable 5 for me, but it could just be Opus with the Fable system prompt.

No, still cracking on with a bug fix. Definitely feels like it's still Fable.

Just turned off for me on Claude Code. Good while it lasted.

Still works for me but I don't know if it's gaslighting me or not... fool me once situation here...

Working fine for me.

I lost it just now. Had a workflow running. :(

Not working for me.

shush, lol

edit: And... it's gone
