Fable 5.5 release evidence
Opus and Fable are separate model lines. Each release needs its own supporting evidence.

Reading the record
Unknown is an answer.
It needs a reason.
Our October 19 review did not establish a Fable 5.5 model identity, release date, API identifier or price. “Unconfirmed” describes an evidence gap; it is not a denial from Anthropic.
How we verify information →- Exact versions. We check the full model name before using a date, price or feature.
- Visible sources. Follow the original documentation and see the scope of each review.
- Clear limits. Public documentation is not a signed-in access test or a benchmark.
- Useful planning. The calculator works without a predicted launch price.

The announcement list and availability section describe Fable 5.1. The extracted heading still says Fable 5, so it is not our sole version reference.
