Claude Code v2.1.190 Reveals Fable 5 Return as Weekly Subscription Feature

According to leaker 'synthwavedd,' new strings discovered in Claude Code v2.1.190 on June 24 suggest Fable 5 will be bundled into weekly subscription limits rather than sold as a separate add-on. The key line: "You've used your included Fable 5 usage for this week." Decrypt verified the strings are real by extracting them directly from the macOS binary.

Fable 5 was banned on June 12 by the Trump administration citing national security concerns over potential jailbreak vulnerabilities. Anthropic has since shifted its White House negotiations point person from CEO Dario Amodei to cofounder Tom Brown, with discussions now focusing on establishing shared criteria for evaluating AI vulnerabilities. Trump stated last week he no longer views Anthropic as a security threat, signaling improved relations.
