Claude Fable 5
Anthropic's first generally available Mythos-class model, released June 9, 2026. 1M context, 128K max output, $10/$50 per million tokens. Built for long-horizon agentic work.
Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`) is Anthropic's most capable widely released model and the first public Mythos-class release. It ships with a 1M token context window, 128K max output, always-on adaptive thinking, and pricing of $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens - double Opus 4.8. The headline integration change is safety classifiers: requests in offensive cyber, most biology and chemistry, and model distillation return a `refusal` stop reason or route to Opus 4.8, with new server-side fallback and fallback-credit mechanics in the API. It is GA on the Claude API, Amazon Bedrock, Vertex AI, and Microsoft Foundry, and included on Pro, Max, Team, and seat-based Enterprise plans at no extra cost through June 22, 2026, after which it requires usage credits. For multi-day autonomous runs and the hardest reasoning work, this is the new top of the Claude family.
