Anthropic · Model guide
Claude Fable 5
Anthropic's most capable generally available model, built for demanding reasoning and long-running agent work. Thinking is always on here: requests that try to disable it are rejected, so effort is the only dial. Claude Mythos 5 is the same underlying model with some safeguards lifted, and is invitation-only.

- anthropic/claude-sonnet-5cheaper —Sonnet 5 is a fifth of the input price for agent work that does not need the top model.
