Source Intelligence

DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Model Picker Description Simplified for Fable 5

The Fable 5 entry in the model picker no longer shows the older "Draws from usage credits" / "Uses your limits ~2× faster than Opus" / "Included with your plan until …" annotation strings. These have been replaced with a single concise label:

  • "· Requires usage credits"

The new label applies whenever Fable 5 requires credits on the current account type, and is omitted when it does not.

Evidence

removed strings (search for "Draws from usage credits" / "· Uses your limits ~2× faster than Opus" — absent from new version); added string (search for "· Requires usage credits")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
