TL;DR

Anthropic is releasing a pair of its most powerful models to date with Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5.
While Mythos 5 is built to let security researchers discover vulnerabilities, the public Fable 5 has safeguards to prevent hacking.
Both models show advanced capabilities for tackling even highly complex analytical tasks.

By now, you’ve almost certainly seen at least one AI demo that left you feeling a little off-kilter — “That’s not just good; that’s scarily good.” Whether we’re talking about AI stealing jobs from artists, or generating novel proofs for mathematical mysteries, we’re constantly finding new ways where AI-powered systems deliver results that make them seem almost uncomfortably powerful. Recently, we’ve heard Anthropic sharing its concerns about releasing its latest Claude Mythos model, which is just a little too good at finding software vulnerabilities. Today, however, Anthropic starts moving forward with just that.

Automated bug-hunting is nothing new, and computer scientists have been using tools like fuzzers for years, flooding software with random inputs in the hopes of causing a glitch. But AI represents a much more potent threat, and as vulnerability finders like Mythos have evolved, their creators have grown appropriately apprehensive about sharing their most powerful models.

Rather than let its tech sit around gathering dust forever, today Anthropic shares the compromise it’s sorted out for how to deploy Mythos responsibly and safely. The key to this approach is dividing things into two separate models: Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5.

Fable 5 is the model for the general public, and it’s a full-featured solution for tackling analytical tasks. This doesn’t have to be just finding software vulnerabilities — Fable 5 can help code, has powerful vision analysis tools, and can even develop internal strategies over time….
