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.

Picking Fable 5 as advisor without usage credits now points you at /model fable.

/model fable
What

If Fable 5 is picked as the advisor model but your account has not set up usage credits, the failure message now points you at /model fable to review and enable it, instead of only saying the model cannot be used as an advisor.

Details
  • Consent telemetry advisor_fable_consent records noninteractive_set_blocked or interactive_launch_blocked depending on how you hit it.
  • Credit state is tracked per host alongside a matching flag for 1M-token long context being blocked on credits.
  • Triggered by your account's credit state rather than a flag you can set.
Evidence

Fable 5 as the advisor bills to usage credits, which need to be set up for your account.

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