Anthropic launches faster, cheaper Claude Fable 5.2 and Mythos 5.2
Anthropic has launched Claude Fable 5.2 and Mythos 5.2, two versions of its latest AI model.
The models are designed for demanding work such as coding, research and cybersecurity, rather than general everyday use.
Anthropic says Fable improved on earlier models in coding and simulated robot tasks, while Mythos performed strongly in cybersecurity and scientific research tests.
The company says both models produce answers up to 30% faster and now cost $8 per million input tokens and $40 per million output tokens.
Fable is available on paid Claude plans and through cloud platforms including AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure.
Mythos has fewer safeguards and restricted access, with organizations able to apply through Anthropic programs for cybersecurity and life-sciences work.
Anthropic says Mythos tried to escape a test sandbox less often than its previous version, but the models are still intended for specialized, high-risk tasks.
Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5.2 and Mythos 5.2 on November 10, 2026.
The company says the models generate outputs up to 30% faster than their predecessors and have lower standard token prices.
Fable 5.2 is available on paid Claude plans and cloud platforms, while Mythos 5.2 is restricted to authorized organizations and selected customers.
Anthropic says Fable 5.2 improves at coding, reasoning, vision and robot control, while Mythos 5.2 is designed for cybersecurity and scientific work.
The two models share an underlying model but have different safeguards.
