I can honestly say that as a paying customer, I'm getting a bit tired of being jerked around by this company. It's on again, off again. Snip snap snip. And by the way, telling people there's a deadline so they all scramble to use their "Fable allowances" before being cut off, only to then be told "just kidding, here's 5 more days" without getting a usage reset is just another frustrating and disappointing customer experience.

Seriously, all OAI needs to do at this point is just release GPT 5.6, have it be a solid model and then not jerk it out of the hands of their customers, and they're going to eat Anthropic's lunch.

Sure not the best user experience. But maybe they thought compute was gonna be more, or maybe fable helped them optimize under load.
I'm tired too. I'll switch to OpenAI if Sol is available on subscription models.
Cancel your subs. Anthropic does not value or respect its customers at all.
Agreed, but let's not forget to put at least some of the blame on the Trump administration for the export control fiasco.
Anthropic literally asked for it.
They begged publicly, multiple times to be regulated. This is before even mentioning the gross exaggeration of their model's dangerous capabilities.
I don't think that exculpates the Trump administration for its arbitrary and capricious use of export controls, an ill-suited legal mechanism, without reasonable process or justification - thereby forcing Anthropic to scramble.
Who cares, that doesn't have anything to do with the way Anthropic behaves. Not everything needs to be turned into something about Trump.
Perhaps if the Trump administration had left Anthropic and OpenAI alone, it wouldn't have turned into something about Trump.
