The promotion lets eligible users explore the newest AI model within their existing plan limits. Anthropic confirmed: "We're extending access to Claude Fable 5 on all paid plans through July 12."
Here is everything you need to know about what the offer covers and who can use it.
What Does The Claude Fable 5 Promotion Actually Cover?
