About Claude Fable 5

Claude Fable 5, released June 9, 2026, is the first model of Anthropic's Claude 5 generation and the debut of the Mythos-class tier that sits above Opus in the lineup. It posted the largest single-release jump in the tracker's dataset: 95.5% on SWE-Bench Verified, 80.3% on SWE-Bench Pro, 88.0% on Terminal-Bench 2.1, and a WebDev Arena coding Elo of 1649 — over 80 points clear of the next model at launch.

Fable 5 ships with a 1M-token context window and leads agentic evaluations including OSWorld-Verified (85.0%) and Artificial Analysis GDPval (1932 Elo). Anthropic offers the same underlying model without additional dual-use safety measures as Claude Mythos 5 to approved organisations. Claude Sonnet 5 followed on June 30, 2026, and Claude Opus 5 brought the 5-series to the Opus tier on July 24, 2026 at half Fable's price.
