So the rumors were right, Opus 5 was indeed being polished up for release. Huge improvements in GDPval-AA v2 too -- great for some of the knowledge work-based agentic workloads I run.

Also glad they still kepy Fable 5 on "credits only" access. I think we're going to start seeing model providers gate top-of-the-line models behind pay-as-you-go API rates/credits while subsidizing other models on monthly subscriptions.

It's still available on at least some subs, they emailed me recently notifying me that I still have access.

  • My understanding is that you get $20 in api credits each month and a one time $100 until mid September. So you can still use the model with a subscription but you aren't getting any kind of discount.

    I burned through $45 in 3 prompts to fix some bugs in my code (Some kind of tricky to isolate). That thing burns through cash so fast I don't see myself using it outside of maybe building execution plans for other systems

    • I am on the pro plan and got the $100 credit.

      I have moved on from Fable anyway so just going to view this next 6 weeks as I have a massive amount of Opus 5 to use.

      I had a hard time finding anything that would let Fable express its increased intelligence. The few conversations I had this afternoon with Opus 5 were pretty impressed.

      If Opus stays one click back from the frontier model, I will remain a happy customer.

  • I think I saw that Max and Enterprise keep access, but Pro has to use credits, but I think I got $85 in credits.

Does anyone know if Claude Code is on Opus 5 yet? That'd be amazing

  • I was using it on Cowork yesterday, so I would imagine so. It arrived before I updated but the message says it will work better after updating the app.

  • When I updated this morning I got claude code v2.1.217. It doesn't have opus 5 listed under /models (opus 4.8 is the latest).
