Anthropic's New Fable 5 AI Model Can Work For Days—But It Won't Be Cheap
Anthropic has released Claude Fable 5, a powerful new AI model with a 1 million token context window, capable of long-running tasks like coding and complex analysis. However, the model includes significant restrictions, particularly around cutting-edge AI development and cybersecurity, which have drawn criticism from researchers who feel Anthropic is "sabotaging" progress. While Fable 5 offers "Mythos-level" capabilities to the public, the most potent version, Claude Mythos 5, remains restricted to approved customers. The model's cost and a new 30-day data retention policy have also raised concerns among users and privacy advocates. AI
