Anthropic: Claude Fable 5

anthropic/claude-fable-5

Compare

Claude Fable 5 is a Mythos-class model from Anthropic, built for autonomous knowledge work and coding. It supports text, image, and file inputs with text output, with reasoning support and a 1M-token context window. It is suited for long-running, complex, and asynchronous tasks that previously required frequent human check-ins.

It is particularly strong at end-to-end work that would otherwise take a person hours, days, or weeks - taking on problems that are long-running, ambiguous, or highly multi-step. It executes well-scoped tasks with few mistakes, automatically self-correcting through verification loops, and ships with robust safeguards.

More models from Anthropic

Claude Fable 5.2

Claude Fable 5.2 is Anthropic's most capable model for the most demanding technical work, with gains over Fable 5.1 in coding, reasoning, and vision. In prerelease testing it completed otherwise-infeasible software migrations, designed working electronic devices from scratch, and made progress on open problems in physics and mathematics. It communicates more clearly than earlier Fable models and generates output up to 30% faster than Fable 5.1. Adaptive extended thinking is always on, with reasoning effort levels from low to max (default high) and preserved thinking across turns. Anthropic recommends Opus 5.5 as the daily driver for most coding and knowledge work, with Fable 5.2 for the most ambitious, open-ended problems.

Claude Haiku 5.5

Claude Haiku 5.5 is Anthropic's small, fast model for high-volume, cost-sensitive work such as summarization, subagents, and browser use. It succeeds Claude Haiku 4.5 with stronger coding, computer use, and knowledge work, and accepts text and image input with a 1M-token context window.

It is the first Haiku model with adjustable effort. Thinking is adaptive and on by default, with effort as the main lever for trading off depth, latency, and cost; it can be turned off at low, medium, and high effort.

Claude Sonnet 5.5

Claude Sonnet 5.5 is Anthropic's Sonnet-class model for well-scoped everyday work, succeeding Claude Sonnet 5 as a direct upgrade. It is especially strong at building features, fixing bugs, and producing polished documents, slides, and spreadsheets, and it writes and communicates more clearly than its predecessor.

Thinking is always on, so effort is the main lever for trading off depth, latency, and cost, and lower effort settings keep it responsive for everyday agentic loops.

Claude Opus 5.5

Claude Opus 5.5 is Anthropic's flagship model for demanding reasoning, coding, and long-horizon agentic work, succeeding Claude Opus 5. It is particularly strong at multi-step changes in large codebases, code review and bug finding, financial and scientific analysis, and reading dense charts, diagrams, and screenshots, and it is more careful than its predecessor about only stating figures and citing sources it can back up.

The model completes comparable tasks in fewer steps and with fewer tokens than Opus 5, and reports on its work in plainer language, with clear updates on what it did, what it found, and what it needs from the user. Thinking is always adaptive, so effort is the main lever for trading off depth, latency, and cost, and lower effort settings remain effective for latency-sensitive workloads.

Claude Fable 5.1 improves on Claude Fable 5 across the board, with the biggest gains in agentic coding, long-running agentic workflows, and knowledge work: long code refactors, front-end and visual code generation, and finance and analysis tasks in particular. It also tends to be more concise than Fable 5 in its plans and summaries. We recommend testing it as a direct upgrade wherever you use Fable 5 today, and alongside Opus 5 on reasoning-heavy tasks.

It is suited for highly autonomous agents, long-horizon agentic work, knowledge work, and memory-driven tasks where coherence over extended sessions matters.

It is particularly strong on multi-step reasoning, complex coding, and end-to-end project orchestration - large codebases, multi-stage debugging, and long-running asynchronous agent pipelines. Beyond coding, it handles knowledge work such as drafting documents, building presentations, and analyzing data, maintaining quality across very long outputs.
