Polymarket traders are pricing in a 77% chance that Anthropic extends paid-plan access to its flagship Claude Fable 5 model beyond Saturday’s deadline, up 33 points as the cutoff approaches. <\/p>\n

The prediction market, which has drawn more than $57,000 in volume, resolves yes if the AI company announces a qualifying extension beyond 19 July. <\/p>\n

The odds reflect a now-familiar pattern. <\/p>\n

Anthropic has already pushed back the deadline three times, from the original 22 June cutoff to 7 July, then 12 July, and now 19 July, with each reprieve announced hours before the wire. <\/p>\n

Fable 5, Anthropic’s most capable generally available model, launched on 9 June and was meant to move to usage-credit-only billing after a two-week promotional window. <\/p>\n

Subscribers on Pro, Max, Team and eligible Enterprise plans can currently use the model for up to 50% of their weekly usage limits at no extra cost. <\/p>\n

Once the promotion ends, access will require prepaid credits at $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens, the first instance of a frontier AI lab adopting usage-based billing for a consumer model. <\/p>\n

Anthropic says it aims to restore Fable 5 as a standard subscription feature once it secures sufficient computing capacity. <\/p>\n

The rolling deadlines come amid pressure from OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 Sol, which benchmarks close behind Fable 5 at a fraction of the cost. <\/p>\n

A companion Polymarket contract puts a 68% chance on Anthropic announcing permanent paid-plan access, while another gives 84% odds of a new Mythos-class model by 30 September. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Traders bet Anthropic will extend Claude Fable 5 access for a fourth time Proactive uses images sourced from…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":110270,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[53,3154,182,37952,38159],"class_list":["post-110269","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-anthropic","tag-anthropic","tag-anthropic-claude","tag-claude","tag-claude-fable","tag-fable"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110269","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=110269"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110269\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/110270"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=110269"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=110269"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=110269"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
