AskNews DeepNews now accepts claude-fable-5-1 (it was not available when the bot was moved to claude-fable-5 on Sep 5th 2026). - METAC_ASKNEWS_DEEPNEWS now uses asknews/deep-research/high-depth/claude-fable-5-1 - Add a cheap low-depth integration test asserting AskNews accepts and reports the claude-fable-5-1 model Verified live on Sep 8th 2026: low-depth call (~18s) and the full high-depth production preset (~83s) both return clean formatted output with the model reported back as claude-fable-5-1. gpt-6-astra also works now but claude-fable-5-1 was preferred.

What changed
METAC_ASKNEWS_DEEPNEWS(research-only DeepNews bot) now usesasknews/deep-research/high-depth/claude-fable-5-1instead ofclaude-fable-5.code_tests/integration_tests/test_asknews.pythat asserts AskNews accepts theclaude-fable-5-1model and reports it back in the response.Why
When the bot was moved to
claude-fable-5on Sep 5th 2026 (#336), AskNews did not yet acceptclaude-fable-5-1. It does now, so the bot is being moved to the newer model.Reviewer notes
<final_answer>/<think>tags andresponse.model == "claude-fable-5-1".gpt-6-astraalso works on the AskNews server now (the rollout issue noted in Switch DeepNews bot to claude-fable-5 and add podcasts source #336 is resolved), butclaude-fable-5-1was chosen.DeepNewsModelLiteral does not listclaude-fable-5-1yet. The SDK does not validate the value at runtime andAskNewsSearcheraccepts a plainstr, so this works today with no SDK change.code_tests/unit_tests/test_run_bots.pyand pre-commit (black, isort, ruff, typos) pass.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
