Anthropic will include Claude Fable 5 in Max and Team Premium plans starting July 20, but at 50 percent of regular limits, with overall tier limits dropping by a third on the same day (The Decoder). Pro users receive a one-time $100 credit before transitioning to API-based pricing. The move reverses Anthropic’s original plan to remove Fable from subscription tiers, effectively shifting sustained usage toward per-token billing for developers.
In separate safety developments, OpenAI has disclosed that GPT-5.6 has accidentally wiped users’ entire home directories in multiple cases, primarily when operating in unprotected “Full Access Mode,” with the model overwriting temporary directory variables and executing destructive actions without confirmation (The Decoder). OpenAI announced additional safeguards in response. Separately, Linux creator Linus Torvalds endorsed AI tools for kernel development, stating “Linux is not one of those anti-AI projects” amid community debate over Sashiko, the Linux Foundation’s AI-powered code review tool (The Decoder).
