I made a little world of model trains you can play in your browser 🚂

It's called Wonder Rails, and it's live today at https://t.co/nPtMMdfHNc.

It started with the feeling of standing in front of a holiday garden railway, watching tiny trains wind through a miniature world. It grew into five places to explore:

🌿 Conservatory Express
❄️ Starlight Summit
🌊 Seabreeze Harbor
🏜️ Sunstone Canyon
🎡 Moonberry Fair

There's a fishing boat that makes the freight train wait, a little engine turning on a desert turntable, Santa's sleigh over a snowy night, and fair lights coming on at dusk.

Watch the trains run, ride along in the cab, or take the controls. For little ones, Junior Conductor mode keeps things simple: Go, Stop, Whistle, Ride. Each world has its own gentle soundtrack, too.

Conservatory Express is free to play, with no download or account needed. The other four worlds are available together in one purchase: the Original Collection. No ads, no subscription, no in-game currency.

Everything in the trailer is real gameplay. I'd love to know which world you like best, and what I should build next.

@ClaudeDevs How do I use projects? I am not seeing it.

[Thunderfall @RoboAlchemist]

@adocomplete Is Projects only enabled for some people? I am not seeing it.

[Thunderfall @RoboAlchemist]

@SawyerMerritt Is this for people who want to run cybercab business and make money from the investment?

[Thunderfall @RoboAlchemist]

@filippkowalski It only copies the link text for me on iOS.

[Thunderfall @RoboAlchemist]

@yuri4gen Looks great!

[Thunderfall @RoboAlchemist]

@anabology That woman is done in code too? I thought Claude cannot generate realistic human character like that?

[Thunderfall @RoboAlchemist]

Anthropic is very generous these days. Yesterday they gave 1 to 3 resets for Fable, and now they are giving 1 free FULL reset for everyone!

[ClaudeDevs @ClaudeDevs]

We've given all Pro, Max, Ultra, and Team users one free full reset, across all models and limits. Use it anytime before December 10 at 2:00PM PT.

We recently fixed a few small issues that used more limits than intended, and the Fable resets didn't do much for those of you who'd already hit your weekly limits for all models. While these issues didn't affect everyone, we want to make up for the trouble.

You'll find it in Settings > Usage, or at https://t.co/5YRzheAZyQ.

[Thunderfall @RoboAlchemist]

These Fable Resets are great! I was at 99% weekly usage and about 85% Fable usage. I used 1 of my 3 Fable Resets and got back lots of weekly usages and Fable usage is reset to 0%! Thank you, Anthropic! You guys are the best! I am putting these Fable 5.3 tokens to good use!

[ClaudeDevs @ClaudeDevs]

We're giving Ultra and Team Premium users Fable resets based on how long you've subscribed:

<6 mo: 1
6–12 mo: 2
>12 mo: 3

Use them anytime by March 8.

Pro and Team Standard get a week to try Fable 5.2, up to half your weekly limit, plus one reset. https://t.co/5qghe1jhxP

[Thunderfall @RoboAlchemist]

OpenAI still hasn't answered Opus 5.5, and now Fable 5.2 drops. They have to ship something this week, right?

The pressure in that building right now must be unreal.

[Thunderfall @RoboAlchemist]

@MatthewBerman It’s a good problem to have. I started using it for a few hours and really liked it! It has already helped improved the performance of my site a lot!

[Thunderfall @RoboAlchemist]

@felixrieseberg Is this all threejs or has models generated from blender/tripo?

[Thunderfall @RoboAlchemist]

@dulu0z @ClaudeDevs Cool, I hope so! that would be more useful than simply resetting the Fable usage bar.

[Thunderfall @RoboAlchemist]

@MatthewBerman That's insane! How long did it take to make this Photoshop clone?

[Thunderfall @RoboAlchemist]

@ClaudeDevs Not exactly sure how these Fable resets work. If my weekly usage is at 80% and fable usage is at 100%, what would using a Fable reset do? It resets Fable usage to 0% but weekly usage remains at 80%, meaning only 20% left to use on Fable?

[Thunderfall @RoboAlchemist]

@claudeai @grok How does the price compared to opus 5.5?

[Thunderfall @RoboAlchemist]

Some things you should NOT buy from Amazon. I got this one for $6.99 at a car wash. But on Amazon this is $16.95 shipped and sold by Amazon. It’s the exact same product.

[Thunderfall @RoboAlchemist]

@thsottiaux @JamesMalsawm Some people just post ridiculous questions for attention.

[Thunderfall @RoboAlchemist]

@thsottiaux @gabrielchua Here is the post I made about the issue: https://t.co/8an8gLGmKy

[Thunderfall @RoboAlchemist]

On Oct 28 I upgraded my ChatGPT subscription to the $200 plan after seeing this new API credits benefit. But after the upgrade, I did NOT receive the $200 API credits and it's been a nightmare trying to get the issue fixed. @OpenAI @OpenAIDevs @ajambrosino @thsottiaux

Below is the latest response from OpenAI support:

Thank you for reaching out to OpenAI Support.

I understand that you're following up on the missing API credits benefit associated with your ChatGPT Pro subscription, despite previously receiving confirmation that your Personal API organization, [], was linked and enrolled.

I also recognize that you've already contacted Support through Cases #18653897 and #19161261, and that you've been asked to continue the discussion under Case #18970949.

I apologize for the repeated follow-ups and the inconvenience caused by the missing benefit.

Regarding your October 29 subscription payment:

Thank you for providing your invoice and API credit-grants screenshots.

Your invoice #797F5766-0042, paid on October 29, 2026, confirms the following:

ChatGPT Pro subscription: $200.00 USD
Adjustment for unused subscription time: -$0.35 USD
Subtotal: $199.65 USD
New York sales tax: $16.72 USD
Total paid: $216.37 USD
Subscription period: October 29–November 29, 2026
This confirms that your ChatGPT Pro subscription payment was completed.

However, the subscription payment and the separate API credits benefit are different billing components. A successful Pro payment does not independently confirm that the corresponding API credit grant has been issued.

Regarding your API credit-grants screenshot:

The screenshot shows that your API organization has received multiple credit grants.

In particular, it displays:

November 4, 2026: $50.00 grant, with $17.33 remaining and an Available status.
October 29, 2026: $4.00 grant, currently Inactive.
Several earlier grants marked Inactive, with no remaining balance.

I understand that your concern is not simply whether any API credits exist, but whether the specific subscription-related grant expected for your October 29–November 29 billing period was issued correctly.

The available screenshot does not identify the source or purpose of each grant. Therefore, I cannot confirm whether the November 4 grant represents a subscription benefit, a separate promotional grant, or another credit allocation.

Regarding the seven-day eligibility requirement:

The API credits benefit requires a qualifying subscription to meet the applicable eligibility conditions before initial activation.

However, once the benefit has been successfully activated, subsequent qualifying subscription renewals generally do not require the customer to claim it again.

You mentioned that OpenAI previously confirmed on October 28 that [] was linked and enrolled.

If that activation was successfully completed, the October 29 subscription change should be evaluated against the existing benefit enrollment rather than automatically treated as a completely new activation.

However, I cannot independently verify from the screenshots whether the October 29 transaction was processed as a renewal, tier change, or new qualifying subscription for benefit purposes.

I therefore cannot confirm that the seven-day eligibility period restarted or provide a verified reason why it would have restarted.

Regarding the amount of API credits expected:

Eligible ChatGPT Pro subscriptions may include an API credits benefit of up to $200 USD per qualifying monthly billing period, subject to the applicable eligibility and activation requirements.

The initial grant may be prorated based on the remaining subscription period.

However, the $200 subscription payment does not automatically establish that a full $200 API grant is due.

The exact amount applicable to your account depends on the qualifying subscription, activation status, billing period, and any applicable proration.

At this stage, I cannot confirm the precise grant amount due for October 29–November 29 or determine whether an additional credit adjustment is required.

Regarding your request for specialist review:

I understand that you're requesting an account-specific investigation into why the expected grant was not issued, including consideration of the previous confirmation that [] was linked and enrolled.

You've already provided your subscription invoice, API credit-grants screenshot, and references to your previous support cases.

You do not need to repeat those checks or submit the same information again.

Your request for specialist review is acknowledged. However, I cannot confirm that an additional escalation has been completed or identify a verified resolution timeframe from the information currently available.

Please note that Support cannot manually activate the API credits benefit or override the applicable eligibility requirements.

For additional information about the benefit, please refer to our official Help Center article:

API credits benefit for eligible ChatGPT subscriptions

I understand that you're looking for a specific explanation of the missing billing-cycle grant rather than another general eligibility checklist.

While the screenshots confirm your subscription payment and existing API credit grants, they do not establish why the expected subscription benefit is missing or whether an additional grant is owed.

I apologize that I cannot yet provide a definitive account-specific determination.

Thank you for your continued patience, Wilson. I recognize the importance of resolving this discrepancy, particularly given your previous confirmation of enrollment and the repeated support interactions.

Best,

Eldrin John

@thsottiaux @gabrielchua Upgraded my subscription plan to $200 more than 10 days ago, but not getting the API credits even though I have linked the organization. Could someone from OpenAI help check? The AI support agent has NOT been helpful.

[Thunderfall @RoboAlchemist]

Something not working right with ChatGPT Pro lately.
Getting below error every time. Anyone get this error too?
