Pricing corrected July 3, 2026 from the official Anthropic pricing page: launch/introductory API rate is $2/$10 per 1M through August 31, 2026, then $3/$15 from September 1, 2026; cache hits and batch pricing follow Anthropic's normal multipliers. Context remains 1,000,000 tokens with a 200,000-token max-output ceiling. Same safety-classifier fallback to Claude Opus 4.8 on offensive-cyber, most biology/chemistry, and distillation requests as Fable 5; adaptive thinking always on, no extended-thinking toggle. SWE-bench Verified (89.4%) edges out Claude Opus 4.8 (88.6%), though Opus 4.8 still leads on GPQA Diamond (93.6% vs 92.0%) and remains Anthropic's top recommendation for the hardest reasoning work.

Anthropic says more than 95% of Fable sessions involve no fallback. Adaptive thinking always on; no extended-thinking toggle. Uses the Opus 4.7 tokenizer (~30% more tokens than pre-4.7 models for the same text). 30-day data retention on all Mythos-class traffic. Availability update, June 12, 2026: Anthropic suspended Fable 5 (and Mythos 5) for all customers to comply with a U.S. Commerce Department export-control directive barring Mythos-class use by any foreign national; AWS revoked Bedrock access the same day. All other Anthropic models are unaffected; Anthropic disputes the recall and says it is working to restore access. Update, June 26-28, 2026: Fable 5 (the GA model) REMAINS fully suspended for all customers — the June 26 U.S. Commerce clearance covered Claude Mythos 5 only, NOT Fable 5. RESTORED, July 1, 2026: the export-control review concluded and the U.S. Commerce Department lifted the suspension on Fable 5 for all customers, the same day Anthropic launched Claude Sonnet 5; AWS restored Bedrock access in step. Mythos 5 remains Project-Glasswing-only as before (unaffected by this restoration). Listed price, context, and benchmark figures are unchanged throughout. Sources: AWS News Blog (Claude Fable 5 on AWS) June 12 + July 1 updates; Anthropic statement + Commerce Secretary's letter, June 26 (CNN/NBC/Fortune/Axios reporting); Anthropic's July 1 restoration statement."
