Claude Command Center v5.0.0 Adds Day-One Support for Fable 5 with Mid-Session Switching
Anthropic released Claude Fable 5, the new tier above Opus. Claude Command Center (CCC) v5.0.0 ships with day-one support, making Fable 5 the default on new sessions. No config needed — spawn and you're on the newest model.
Key Features in v5.0.0
- Fable 5 as default: New sessions automatically use Fable 5. No configuration required.
- Redesigned model picker: Replicates Claude Code's native
/modelmenu with number-key shortcuts. Shows 1M-context variants and a Fast mode toggle on Opus. - Mid-session switching: Change any live session to Fable 5 with one click without losing context. Useful when a session needs the bigger model partway through.
- Bug fix: Model switching previously failed with cryptic CLI errors on versioned model aliases. Fixed.
How to Update
Available now via:
- Brew:
brew upgrade ccc - DMG: Sparkle auto-update will pick it up
- curl:
./run.shfrom the project
If you're running multi-engine workflows and want to test Fable 5, the maintainer invites feedback via the Reddit thread.
For developers using Claude Code or CCC in agentic pipelines, this release removes friction when swapping models mid-conversation. The fixed alias handling also matters if you pin versioned model aliases in scripts.
