Anthropic launches Claude Fable 5.1 and Mythos 5.1
Editorial Analysis
Anthropic released Claude Fable 5.1 as its generally available frontier model for coding and knowledge work, with Mythos 5.1 as the trusted-access variant for elevated cybersecurity and biology capabilities. The models share the same underlying weights; Fable applies more precise safeguards that reduce unnecessary biology refusals while blocking dual-use exploit generation. Pricing remains $10/$50 per million tokens with improved cache economics for agentic workloads.
