Anthropic’s Claude Fable 5 to Require ID Checks and Paid Credits

THE article discusses recent developments regarding Anthropic's upcoming Claude Fable 5 model, which reportedly will require users to purchase separate credits for access and undergo strict identity verification checks. Hidden text in the app indicates that users must provide ID and face verification before they can buy credits, moving away from previous norms. Regular monthly plans will only grant access to older models, while the new model's features are gated behind a credit system. This shift introduces significant privacy concerns as all users may face stringent real-name checks.
