In this video, I break down everything Anthropic just announced about Claude Fable 5, the first model in the new Claude 5 family and part of the Mythos-class tier that sits ABOVE Claude Opus. Fable 5 is beating Opus 4.8 almost everywhere, and it's the first model ever to break 90% on complex agentic tasks. I'll walk you through the benchmarks, the even more powerful Claude Mythos 5 model, how to switch to Fable 5 inside Claude Code, and the pricing and token costs you need to know before you start using it.
💡What you'll learn
✅ Why Claude Fable 5 beats Opus 4.8 on agentic coding, tool use, and long-running tasks.
✅ How Fable 5 became the first model ever to break 90% on complex agentic tasks.
✅ What Claude Mythos 5 is and how Project Glasswing fits into the rollout.
✅ How Anthropic made Fable 5 safe for public use by limiting its cybersecurity capabilities.
✅ The exact benchmark numbers for Fable 5, Mythos 5, and Opus 4.8 side by side.
✅ How to update Claude Code and switch to the Fable 5 model with a single slash command.
✅ The full Fable 5 pricing breakdown and why it burns your tokens 2x faster than Opus 4.8.
This breakdown gives you the full picture of Claude Fable 5 and the Mythos-class models in 2026, the benchmarks, the safety story behind the cybersecurity limits, the real pricing per million tokens, and exactly how to start using Fable 5 today. Whether you're building agentic workflows in Claude Code or calling the Claude API directly, you'll know precisely what's changed and how to make the most of it.
