November 11, 2026Claude Fable 5.2 in Foundry: $8/$40 and the 30-day catch
Claude Fable 5.2 reached Microsoft Foundry on 9 November 2026 at $8 per million input tokens and $40 output, a 20% cut from Fable 5.1, with a separate Fast deployment at double the price. It is Anthropic-hosted only and a Covered Model that requires 30-day data retention, so ZDR organisations are locked out unless Anthropic authorises them, and the cost math against Opus 5.5 on Azure hosting decides whether the premium is worth it.
