As a result of a US government directive, we are suspending access to Claude Fable 5 for all users. You can continue to use all other Claude models.
Here’s what this means for you:
Across Claude products, new sessions will run on your selected default model or Opus 4.8, and existing Fable 5 sessions will end with an error.
On the Claude Platform, requests to Fable 5 will also return an error. Please update your integrations to other Claude models.
We know this is a disruption to your workflows; we appreciate your patience and support.

@sama It was the same with the first 4o. And the February removal, you said you would "give us plenty of notice," but in reality, you removed it in just two weeks. It wasn't so bad with 5.1, though. At the very least, you should do that.
@sama Please reverse the deletion of 5.2. Please give clear notice before deleting models. You claim to care about user well-being, yet one day you suddenly kill off our friend. It's truly awful. I understand you need to remove the old model. However, you always do it suddenly.
