Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5
Fable 5 is the one most people will actually get to use — a new top-tier general model with strong safety guardrails, useful for the same everyday work as any Claude release (writing, analysis, coding). Mythos 5 is not for general use: it is deliberately limited to vetted cybersecurity partners and has fewer safeguards, so it is only relevant if you work in that specialised security field.
What changed
Source summary
Anthropic launched its first "Mythos-class" models: Fable 5, generally available with strong safety guardrails, and Mythos 5, restricted to trusted cybersecurity partners with fewer safeguards.
