Anthropic announced the launch of Claude Fable 5.2 and Claude Mythos 5.2–upgraded versions of their frontier LLMs Fable and Mythos of Claude family, with the company claiming that the models are designed for “ambitious” open-ended technical work.
According to Anthropic, both Claude Fable 5.2 and Claude Mythos 5.2 show improvements in programming and coding, reasoning, scientific research and development when compared to their predecessor models Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1.
While Claude Fable 5.2 comes with enhanced safeguards and restrictions, for those wanting to use Claude Mythos 5.2, Anthropic said that organizations can apply through its extended life sciences and cybersecurity programs.
Introducing Claude Fable 5.2 and Claude Mythos 5.2, designed to tackle the most daunting technical challenges.
They’re capable collaborators on ambitious projects in many fields, and show improvements in areas like coding, reasoning, and vision. https://t.co/jP0AutLxXb

In a blogpost on Monday, Anthropic claimed that Claude Fable 5.2 and Claude Mythos 5.2 communicate more clearly that their predecessor models, generate output 30% faster and are also priced lower at $8 per million input tokens and $40 per million output tokens.
Announcing the launch of its frontier models, Anthropic claimed that Claude Fable 5.2 and Claude Mythos 5.2 helped Anthropic engineers complete complex tasks which involved software migrations, designing three electronic devices from a prompt, solving two open problems in physics of black holes and formalized the proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem in less than 30 hours.
“Fable and Mythos are best for the most ambitious, open-ended technical work. For most coding and knowledge tasks, we recommend that users start with Claude Opus 5.5, our strongest daily driver, and then switch to a different model as required, depending on the scope and complexity of their work—upward to Fable or Mythos,” read a statement from Anthropic.
According to Anthropic, during its pre-release testing phase, Claude Fable 5.2 used more than 1,000 AI agents to design an experimental operating system in only eight days. The prototype created all the necessary elements which include storage, drivers, windows, doors and installations, claimed Anthropic.
Anthropic also said that Fable 5.2 was able to create a device that includes a voice-activated hub, USB microphone and a toy pet that uses technology to imitate pets. Additionally, the model was able to adapt a program going from Python to Rust which increased its efficiency and speed by so much that startup time was reported to be improved by 26 times.
Similarly, Anthropic claimed that the mathematician Fermat’s theorem has been turned into a computer-compatible proof by the model Fable 5.2 and the model Mythos 5.2 has become much better in recognizing software weaknesses and carrying out biological studies.
