- Lon() on X: "I now have definitive proof that Anthropic has been silently downgrading Fable users to Opus models without providing notification in the UI and without respecting their own configuration flag that prevents automatic model downgrades on classifier activation. I previously claimed that Anthropic nerfed Fable after they announced they would continue providing access to Fable for all Max user subscriptions starting July 20th. And now I have the evidence from their own harness code and model registry, with version numbers and dates. And it proves they activated the capability to silently downgrade users exactly ON JULY 20th. If you've been noticing that Fable seems to think less before acting, and gives you vibes that remind you of talking to Opus 4.8, it's because you probably have been silently routed to Opus 4.8 - with no discernible UI feedback, and no mechanism for you to stop it from happening. This is yet another instance of user-hostile behavior from Anthropic. They had planned to remove Fable from subscription plans on July 7th, July 12th, and July 19th and were forced to keep it in subscription plans indefinitely due to competitive pressures from OpenAI and Chinese open weight model releases like Kimi 3. But this is Anthropic, so they did what Anthropic does best and silently took Fable away from you anyway, while telling you how proud they were to provide you with permanent access in your subscription plan. We now know what "working literally around the clock" meant. (receipts attached. and sorry for the small text)" / Xx.com
