Open letter to Anthropic: keep Claude Fable 5 in existing paid plans

a month ago

Anthropic gave all paid subscribers access to Claude Fable 5, the most advanced AI system, from July 1st.
On July 7th, they plan to remove Fable 5 from subscription plans, requiring users to purchase additional usage credits to retain access.
The letter argues that pricing is not a safety control, as Fable 5 is already deemed safe for public use.
Access to advanced AI is essential for economic activities like job applications, small businesses, and research, and usage-based pricing risks creating economic disparities.
