What is Fable 5?
Claude Fable 5 is Anthropic's flagship AI model, released on June 9, 2026. Anthropic describes it as a Mythos-class model made safe for general use: its capabilities exceed any model the company has previously made generally available, with state-of-the-art results in software engineering, knowledge work, vision, and scientific research. New safeguards block responses in specific high-risk areas, and a small share of sensitive queries are answered by Claude Opus 4.8 instead.
