Cause (Documented platform behavior): langchain-anthropic mirrors the API constraints of these models locally and raises before sending: they use adaptive thinking controlled by output_config.effort and do not accept custom sampling parameters (Fable).
Fix status: documented_behavior
Limitations:
- Model-family prefixes checked are those in source at 1.7.4; other families may have different constraints.
- Exact strings contain the model id in the middle; fragments listed.
Other error fragments:
- `thinking={"type": "enabled", "budget_tokens": ...}` is not supported for
- omit `thinking` to use adaptive thinking.

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Existing ChatAnthropic configs (temperature=0, budget thinking) fail client-side when switching the model id to Fable 5 or Opus 5.
- Context
- Product: LangChain (langchain-anthropic) Component: ChatAnthropic request payload validation Operation: ChatAnthropic(model="claude-fable-5..."/"claude-opus-5...", temperature=0.2 / thinking={"type":"enabled",...}) Affected versions: unknown Environment: unknown Exception: ValueError Packages: langchain-anthropic source checked at 1.7.4 Trigger: claude-fable-5*: top_k set, top_p!=1, temperature!=1, or thinking disabled; claude-opus-5* or fable: thinking type enabled with budget_tokens; opus-5 with thinking disabled and effort xhigh/max.

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [langchain-anthropic] ValueError before request on Claude Fable 5 / Opus 5: "`temperature` is not supported for <model> at non-default values", top_p/top_k, and thinking type enabled/dis
Recommended action: Remove temperature/top_p/top_k for Fable 5, drop thinking={"type":"enabled"} in favour of adaptive thinking with effort, and keep effort <= high if thinking is disabled on Opus 5.
Option: Use adaptive thinking + effort and default sampling [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Claude Fable 5 / Opus 5 via ChatAnthropic
Steps:
1. Remove temperature/top_p/top_k
2. Replace thinking={"type":"enabled","budget_tokens":N} with reasoning_effort/effort
Expected: Request is sent
