<\/p>\n

Anthropic is making its first Mythos-tier model available to the general public. On Tuesday, the AI lab announced it was rolling out Fable 5\u2014the first widespread release of an AI model from a significantly more powerful class of model\u2014as a general release, and Claude Mythos 5 to vetted partners who already have access to the Claude Mythos Preview.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a considerable step for the lab, which initially deemed Mythos-class models too dangerous to release due to their increased ability to find cybersecurity weaknesses. It also comes just over a week after the company confidentially filed for IPO paperwork.<\/p>\n

Fortune <\/em>first reported the existence of the new and more powerful model in March after a data leak revealed its existence. In April, Anthropic officially announced Mythos, calling it a \u201cstep change\u201d in capabilities. It opted to tightly control its rollout through an initiative called Project Glasswing. The project was aimed at giving cybersecurity professionals access to the models\u2019 cyber skills so they could strengthen their defenses against new threats posed by increasingly advanced AI models.<\/p>\n

\n

Now, Anthropic says it is confident new guardrails are enough to ensure these dangerous skills don\u2019t fall into the wrong hands.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe reason why we\u2019re releasing Fable Five now is very much due to us feeling more confident with our safety guardrails in place,\u201d Dianne Penn, Anthropic\u2019s head of product management, research and labs, told Fortune. <\/em><\/p>\n

The company said that responses in specific high-risk areas, such as biology and cybersecurity, will be blocked and will, in most cases, be answered by Claude Opus 4.8, Anthropic\u2019s less powerful model, released earlier this year. The fear is that giving users free access to Mythos-level intelligence could enable bad actors to carry out more advanced cyberattacks or develop bioweapons more easily. The company also said it had extensively red-teamed its classifiers (machine learning algorithms) to test their robustness against jailbreaks.<\/p>\n

Anthropic says the new model capabilities \u201cexceed those of every model we\u2019ve previously made generally available,\u201d and demonstrate exceptional performance in areas such as coding, knowledge work, and vision. <\/p>\n

Penn said that\u00a0Fable Five is particularly strong at what is known as \u201clong-horizon memory management\u201d\u2014an AI model\u2019s ability to keep track of what it\u2019s doing over a long, complex task.<\/p>\n

Where previous models sometimes \u201close the thread\u201d partway through complex, long tasks, the new model is much better at remembering what it\u2019s doing over long stretches, she said. Penn also said the lab has seen improvements in self?verification and instruction following: the model is more deliberate about checking its own work, validating assumptions, and course?correcting before producing a final answer. These changes mean higher overall quality across both coding and non?coding tasks, she added.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe think there are some use cases where it\u2019s a replacement [for knowledge work], whether it\u2019s coding or others, but we also think that it\u2019s really expanding the use cases,\u201d Penn said. \u201cNow you could use a model like Fable Five to run very long-horizon projects, potentially overnight \u2026 and that might include things like being able to review your whole code base for improvements.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe recommend that customers give their most challenging work to Fable Five,\u201d she added. <\/p>\n

The lab said that early data shows at least 95% of Fable sessions run entirely on Fable\u2019s own responses, rather than being routed back to Opus. However, Anthropic has faced backlash from some users in the past who claim that the company\u2019s safety filters occasionally \u201cover-block\u201d benign requests or issue false refusals. <\/p>\n

Penn acknowledged the guardrails might not be perfect the first time around.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe recognize that there might be some benign requests that end up being blocked initially,\u201d she said.
\u201cWe\u2019re working actively on making those safeguards improvements post-launch, but we wanted to make the model accessible generally in a safe manner as soon as we could.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fable 5 and Mythos 5 are being offered at $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens\u2014twice the price of the standard version of the next most advanced model, Opus 4.8.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
