Both are priced at $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens — twice the cost of prior Opus models — wi...
Anthropic launched Fable 5, a guardrailed version of its Mythos-class model, available via API at $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens, also on Amazon Bedrock and Microsoft Foundry. A less-restricted Mythos 5 was released simultaneously but limited to members of Project ...
Anthropic released Claude Fable 5, the first publicly available model from its Mythos class, which had previously been withheld due to concerns about its cybersecurity capabilities. The company said the release was enabled by new safeguards blocking responses in high-risk areas.
Anthropic released Claude Fable 5, a new AI model, accompanied by a published system card detailing its capabilities and safety evaluations.
Chinese AI startup Stepfun released Step 3.7 Flash, a language model that outputs 416 tokens per second and costs one-ninth of Claude Opus, while scoring approximately 97% of Claude's performance on coding benchmarks. Artificial Analysis ranked it first in both speed and value among compared models.
Anthropic released Claude Fable 5 on June 9, 2026, a "Mythos-class" model with a 1M token context window, 128k max output, and always-on adaptive thinking, priced at $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens.
Anthropic's Claude Fable 5, a Mythos-class model, is now available on Vercel's AI Gateway via the model identifier `anthropic/claude-fable-5`. The model includes blocking classifiers for cybersecurity and biology misuse and retains prompts and completions for 30 days, with Zero Data Retention not...
In early June, Cognition released Devin Desktop, Microsoft introduced Rayfin at Build 2026, and Augment Code launched Cosmos — three products designed to extend AI coding agents from individual developer tools to shared team infrastructure with coordination, governance, and access controls.
Anthropic released Claude Fable 5, a public version of its Mythos model restricted by a classifier layer that redirects high-risk cybersecurity, biology, and chemistry queries to Claude Opus 4.8 in under 5% of sessions. The unrestricted Mythos 5 is available only to vetted organizations via Proje...
Anthropic released Claude Fable 5, described as the first publicly available model in its Mythos class. The model includes guardrails that restrict responses in high-risk domains including cybersecurity and biology.
