🛡️ Anthropic released two Mythos-class models: the broadly available Claude Fable 5 and the restricted Claude Mythos 5 for select cybersecurity and infrastructure partners. Anthropic says Fable 5 outperforms prior Claude models across coding, research, vision, and long-form tasks while routing risky queries to a fallback, Claude Opus 4.8. The company stresses conservative safeguards to prevent misuse, but early tests suggest some benign cyber tasks are also being rerouted.
