  "transcript": "If Fable is more expensive to run, just make it consume tokens faster than Opus. Set whatever multiplier makes sense for your unit economics.\n\nI genuinely don't understand the current approach.\n\nFrom my perspective, giving us access seems like a win for everyone. Users get access to your best model, and Anthropic still controls costs through token consumption.\n\n\n\n--- Top Comments ---\n\n\n[1 upvotes] **TL;DR of the discussion generated automatically after 40 comments.**\n\n**The community overwhelmingly agrees with OP and is threatening to cancel their subscriptions.**\n\nFolks are pretty cheesed off that the most expensive subscription tier won't have access to the best model. The main sentiment is that this is a major misstep by Anthropic, with many users stating they've already canceled their $200 plans or will be switching to competitors like OpenAI's GPT-5.6 or Codex. The consensus is that OP's suggestion—making Fable consume more credits rather than removing it—is a much more sensible approach.\n\nThe primary debate in the thread revolves around whether subscriptions are \"subsidized.\"\n\n*   A minority argues that Fable is so expensive to run that Anthropic is taking a massive financial hit and can't afford to offer it on subscription plans.\n*   However, the top-voted comments and prevailing opinion **strongly refute this**, arguing that API prices are artificially inflated, inference costs aren't *that* high, and Anthropic benefits immensely from user data for training. The feeling is that this is a \"classic product management move\" to manage capacity and create artificial scarc\n\n[70 upvotes] Kind of funny how quickly we have reached the point where frontier models are gonna be API only\n\n[64 upvotes] They will back-pedal. They ABSOLUTELY will back-pedal.",
