Anthropic has released Claude Fable 5, a "Mythos-class" artificial intelligence model designed for general use. This new model reportedly offers capabilities exceeding Anthropic's previously released AI systems, demonstrating exceptional performance in areas such as software engineering, knowledge work, and scientific research, particularly on longer and more complex tasks.

To address potential risks associated with its advanced capabilities, Fable 5 includes integrated safeguards. Queries related to sensitive topics like cybersecurity, biology, and chemistry are automatically rerouted to Claude Opus 4.8. Anthropic states these safeguards are conservatively tuned and are expected to trigger in less than five percent of user sessions. Concurrently, an unrestricted version, Claude Mythos 5, is being provided to a select group of cybersecurity partners and infrastructure providers, continuing their involvement in Project Glasswing.

Fable 5 is priced at $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens. Initially, it was offered without extra cost for certain subscription tiers until June 22, after which usage credits will be required.
