Anthropic extends preserved thinking to all Fable 5.2 API accounts
Overview
Anthropic says preserved thinking now covers all API accounts on Fable 5.2, and describes the change as a way to help prevent distillation.
Editing prior context can return a 400 error, so Anthropic recommends compaction, context editing, or mid-conversation system messages instead. Claude Code, Managed Agents, and the Agent SDK handle this automatically.
