> Meanwhile, HN has anchored on "marketing hype" as the only possible explanation
The Claude.ai web prompt has an undismissable "Claude Fable 5 is current unavailable" notice.
I'm not saying it's 100% a stunt.
But...Anthropic really wants you to know about it.
And if they didn't have this all of HN would rant about how they aren't even telling you that their best model is unavailable, despite having a subscription.
If they tell you, it's a marketing stunt; if they don't, they're being deceptive.
