Claude officially announces Opus 5 as the new SOTA in multiple coding and knowledge work evaluations, sparking user discussion about Fable 5's restrictions.
On July 25, 2026, the official Claude account posted on X that Opus 5 has become the new state-of-the-art (SOTA) in multiple coding and knowledge work evaluations. This statement directly establishes Opus 5's flagship position in the Claude model series.
User '小互' commented that Fable 5 was quickly eliminated and outperformed, questioning the previous practice of 'hesitantly restricting for two weeks, then only giving 50% of the quota' when Fable 5 was released. This comment implies that Fable 5 was subject to usage restrictions, but this information has not been officially confirmed.
Another user '西红柿麨番茄' speculated that directly lifting Fable 5's usage restrictions would be awkward, so Claude chose to release a new model, Opus 5. This claim is user inference, not an official explanation.
User 'ChainBuilder.pro' provided data on Fable 5's agentic coding performance: 69.7% and 53.5%, but the source of this data is unclear and has not been officially verified.
The core facts of this article come from Claude's official statement, but the restrictions, data, and motive speculation in user comments have not been officially confirmed and should be treated with caution.
The release of Opus 5 marks a new height for Claude models in coding and knowledge work evaluations, but whether Fable 5 is eliminated and its restrictions remain user discussion without official conclusion.
