Claude Fable 5.2 replaces Fable 5.1 at a lower price

Claude Fable 5.2 replaces Claude Fable 5.1 everywhere you run Fable, and the hosted model costs less. Any workflow, specialist, conversation, or setting that named Fable 5.1 now runs on Fable 5.2, with nothing to change on your side. The context window stays at 1,000,000 tokens and the output limit at 128,000 tokens. Compare it with the other hosted models on the models page.

How it works

• Lower price. Anthropic lists Fable 5.2 at $8 per million input tokens and $40 output, down from $10 and $50. Cache reads drop from $0.25 to $0.20 per million tokens, and cache writes from $12.50 to $10.
• Saved selections move over. Workspace and specialist model settings, conversations that were running on Fable 5.1, and a workspace's on or off switch for Fable all carry over to Fable 5.2.
• The same routes. Fable 5.2 runs on Anthropic's own API, with Vercel AI Gateway and OpenRouter as failover routes for the same model when Anthropic is overloaded.
• Subscriptions move too. A Claude plan connected through Token Tunnel runs Fable 5.2 as well, and a pick saved as Fable 5.1 runs there as Fable 5.2.

Also shipped

• A person who turned Fable 5.1 off for their own subscriptions keeps it off, and the same now holds for any model we retire onto a successor.
