Mythos went public today, renamed Fable 5, with per-session safety routing that fires in less than one in twenty sessions.
Fable 5 posts 80.3% on SWE-Bench Pro, eleven points clear of the field, and spatial reasoning that nearly tripled over Opus 4.8. Stripe estimated two-plus months of engineering time on a 50-million-line Ruby migration; Fable 5 finished in a day. The underlying model is Mythos 5, filtered through safeguards that route roughly one in twenty sessions to Opus 4.8 when queries touch high-risk territory (cybersecurity, biology). Model ID: claude-fable-5. Pricing: $10/$50 per million tokens. Free on paid plans through June 22, then usage credits until capacity catches up.
Mythos 5 is the same model with some safeguards lifted, deployed through Project Glasswing for authorized cyberdefenders and infrastructure providers. The public gets Fable. The cyberdefense community gets Mythos.
