alt Hacker NewsHow can it be legal to charge a higher fee for the Fable model, if most of the usage will default to a cheaper model behind the scenes?
It is one thing if I, as the user, choose to down-level but Claude shouldn't do this on its own.

Originally at least the switch wasn't silent and whether to halt or auto switch was a setting in Claude Code.

because it's all indistinguishable from magic when it's a cloud SaaS.
Not like you can tell the difference if you dont own any of the implementation.

They are transparent. Don’t use it if you don’t want to. These things shouldn’t be illegal.

Judging from their site, I think it should be OK:
"You won't be charged Fable prices for rerouted requests. Learn more about how the fallback experience works."
