    {
      "question": "Is Claude Fable 5.2 good for graphic design?",
      "answer": "Yes, for design that can be expressed as code. Grid layouts, typographic posters, geometric marks, icon systems, charts and CSS motion. It writes SVG, HTML and CSS. It does not paint."
    },
    {
      "question": "Can Claude Fable 5.2 generate images?",
      "answer": "Not raster images. Its output is text, so visuals arrive as SVG, HTML, CSS or canvas code that a browser renders. The upside is that everything is vector, editable and tiny."
    },
    {
      "question": "Can Claude Fable 5.2 make animations?",
      "answer": "Yes, as CSS keyframes, SVG animation or JavaScript. It can derive physically correct easing. It cannot watch its animation play, so ask for a spacing chart and judge the timing yourself."
    },
    {
      "question": "How much does Claude Fable 5.2 cost?",
      "answer": "$8 per million input tokens and $40 per million output tokens on the API, down 20% from Fable 5.1. Fast mode is $16 and $80. It is included in paid Claude plans."
    },
    {
      "question": "Should designers use Fable 5.2 or Opus 5.5?",
      "answer": "Start with Opus 5.5. That is Anthropic's own recommendation. Move to Fable 5.2 when a brief stacks several hard constraints and the cheaper model drops one."
    },
    {
      "question": "What is the best prompt for SVG design with Fable 5.2?",
      "answer": "Format and viewBox, grid and margins in numbers, a type stack, a color count, a banned list, a construction layer, and a self-audit. Then one screenshot back for one correction pass."
