Anthropic Moves Fable 5 to $10-per-Million Pricing as OpenAI Weighs Token Cuts

Summary
June 23 is the cutoff for Anthropic’s Fable 5 to leave subscription token allowances and shift all users to pay-as-you-go pricing, charging $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens.
Fable 5 uses more tokens than earlier Anthropic models, so subscribers paying the same monthly fee could hit limits faster; heavier coding and autonomous tasks could push bills well above simple chatbot use.
OpenAI is weighing significant token price cuts as customer cost concerns grow, while GPT-5.5 Pro already undercuts Fable at $5 per million input tokens and $30 per million output tokens.
Google’s Gemini 3.5 Flash is cheaper still at $1.50 per million input tokens and $9 per million output tokens, underscoring widening pricing gaps as AI providers compete on cost and capacity.
