API pricing
- InputWhat you pay for everything you send the model — your question, plus any documents or earlier conversation you include with it.
- $10.00
- Cached inputA reduced rate for text you send over and over. If every request starts with the same instructions or the same document, the provider keeps a copy ready and charges less to read it again.
- $1.00
- 5 min cache writeA one-off charge for storing text so later requests can reuse it at the cheaper cached rate. This option keeps it for five minutes.
- $12.50
- 1 hr cache writeA one-off charge for storing text so later requests can reuse it at the cheaper cached rate. This option keeps it for an hour, so it costs more than the five-minute one.
- $20.00
- OutputWhat you pay for the text the model writes back. It is normally the dearer half: producing an answer costs more than reading one.
- $50.00

Claude Fable 5 was announced on June 9, 2026 as Anthropic's generally available Mythos-class model. It shared its underlying model with Claude Mythos 5, with additional safeguards for wider use. Anthropic positioned Fable for long software-engineering tasks, analytical work and multimodal reasoning.
At launch, some requests could be routed to Claude Opus 4.8 when the safeguards intervened. This means an evaluation of the deployed Fable service could include fallback behavior as well as the main model. Fable and Mythos were introduced together with different access conditions, rather than as interchangeable public API choices.
