You are still getting the models you signed up for. The all you can eat added a French wines selection - which requires separate payment.

Codex is more generous with their subscribers because they are second place, and have to climb the reputation ladder. I suspect if OpenAI was in Anthropic's market position they too would have tighter sub limits, gate-keep where their oauth tokens can be used tighter, and play games that move users towards per-token spend.

i think its a combination of these:

- OAIs models are much more token efficient. in some cases their new mythos-level model uses 1/4th of the tokens that mythos does.

- they reportedly have recently found another way to decrease compute needed "by half" in a breakthrough

- early on, they ensured they have much more compute ready, whereas Anthropic had to disable new users signing up because they ran out of compute

- OAI has fewer users (5mln codex users vs, what, 10mln claude code users?)

Link to source for the breakthrough in inference compute? Are you talking about prefill?

source is the theinformation, but its only for logged out chatgpt users

Maybe they read some Deepseek papers.

Soon enough the tables will turn again, anthropic will be begging people to come back.

> because they are second place

In popularity. Which is crazy because they are first when it comes to everything else for quite some time and Fable isn't changing that all that much because of muzzling.

Competition is good.

Yes, I distinctly remember the recent past when the roles were reversed, and Anthropic was the kind good hearted startup trying to compete with big evil OpenAI corporation.

Wonder how many times we get to see it flip back and forth before this bubble explodes.

Fable worked great on credits yesterday. Upgraded to 20x Max last night, but not the same performance. And it keeps downgrading to Opus 4.8.

How do you show/prove it’s downgrading

Use /model in Claude Code to see your current model and switch models. Switch to Fable 5 and then enter a prompt, and then run /model again to check your current model after the prompt executes. Last night after almost every prompt it says...

  Fable 5's safeguards flagged this message. The safeguards are intentionally broad right now and may flag safe and routine coding, cybersecurity, or biology work. These measures let us bring you Mythos-level capabilities sooner, and we're working to refine them. Switched to Opus 4.8. Send feedback with /feedback or learn more

I lost all my goodwill for Anthropic the moment I read the bit about how the model would intentionally degrade its performance without telling the user (in other words, sabotage) if it detected frontier level AI research. How could I know it wasn’t going to kick in as I used it to develop a regular ML model? How can I trust such a system? It’s good that they walked it back but I’m looking to jump ship now.

> I won't be able to pay for Fable once off the sub

With the sub, I asked Fable one question (yeah granted it was a complicated question involving integer linear programming, and I gave Fable two pieces of code to check for equivalence), and I ran out of credits before Fable had finished thinking.

I still find things exciting, but sure they are not generous.
