Anthropic Releases Public Version of Claude Fable 5 AI Model with Cybersecurity Restrictions
Anthropic released a public version of its Claude Fable 5 AI model on June 9, 2026, but restricted its use in cybersecurity and other high-risk areas. The model, part of the Mythos class, was initially limited to 200 organizations, including the US government under the Glasswing program. Anthropic plans to expand access through a trusted-access program.

Anthropic is rolling out a public version of its Mythos AI model, but with guardrails barring its use in risky areas such as cybersecurity, after an earlier preview this year sent shockwaves globally for its ability to find software flaws. The new Claude Fable 5 is the most powerful model Anthropic has ever made for wider use, the startup said on Tuesday, touting its performance in software engineering and analytics. Anthropic has so far limited its access to a group of about 200 organisations, including the US government under the Glasswing program, after announcing in April that Mythos had uncovered thousands of software vulnerabilities. Offering its capabilities more widely may allow the $965 billion company to extend the momentum that has powered its valuation above rival OpenAI just as the two startups at the centre of the AI industry race to go public. The company said it had done extensive testing to ensure that users could not manipulate the new model to bypass its guidelines and perform restricted actions. “Let’s say I’m a college student asking the model like help me find cyber vulnerabilities on X package or code. The model would refuse and Fable 5 will fall back to Opus 4.8 for a response,” Dianne Penn, Anthropic’s head of product management, research and labs, told Reuters. Fable 5 will be a more expensive model, but it accomplishes tasks with lower token usage, bringing the overall cost per task down, according to early customer feedback, Penn said. Anthropic also said users who had access to the preview version of Claude Mythos, the version without guardrails, would be able to upgrade to the new Claude Mythos 5. The company said it planned to expand access over time through a more “systematic trusted-access program.” Pricing on both models is $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens, the company said.
Anthropic has launched Claude Fable 5, a powerful AI model now publicly available. This release follows extensive safety measures to prevent misuse in high-risk fields. Fable 5, designed for complex tasks, is priced competitively and offers enhanced token efficiency, marking a significant step in making advanced AI more accessible.
AI company restricted access to Fable 5, its most powerful Mythos model, for months over cybersecurity concerns Anthropic, the maker of the Claude artificial intelligence (AI) models, made a new version of its technology available to the general public on Tuesday while restricting its use in sensitive areas. Dubbed Fable 5, the model is the first to be made widely available from the company’s new Mythos class – its most advanced lineup of AI technology, unveiled in April but restricted to a small set of partner institutions for months over cybersecurity concerns.
