Fable 5 is the first model in Anthropic's Mythos-class tier to ship for general use. The release came wrapped in extra safety scaffolding given how capable the tier is meant to be.

  • Reported 95.0 percent on SWE-bench Verified, ahead of Opus 4.8
  • Claude Code on Fable 5 leads Terminal-Bench in Anthropic's numbers
  • Positioned a clear step above the already strong Opus 4.x line
Our take
Benchmark records age fast, but a Sonnet-then-Opus-then-Mythos ladder means the cheap tier you reach for tomorrow is roughly today's flagship. Plan your defaults accordingly.
