What's Wrong?

Trying to use the latest Fable 5 model.
Since it is not available in my Claude App / CLI, I was trying this workaround:

  1. I resume my chat session in the claude cli, and enable remote control /rc
  2. then /rc gives me the URL where I can resume the chat session from their web version
  3. and in that web version I can select Fable 5 model

But then I get the error/warning:
⏺ API Error: 400 tools.11.model: 'claude-opus-4-8' cannot be used as an advisor when the request model is 'claude-fable-5'.

What Should Happen?

It should work
