What is GPT‑5.6?
GPT-5.6, referred to as Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 in official communications, represents Anthropic's latest generation of Mythos-class large language models. Fable 5 is designed for general use, offering state-of-the-art performance across nearly all tested AI capability benchmarks, including software engineering, knowledge work, vision, and scientific research. It excels particularly in longer and more complex tasks, demonstrating a significant lead over previous models. To ensure safe deployment, Fable 5 incorporates conservative safeguards that may redirect queries on sensitive topics to a less capable model, Claude Opus 4.8, though these trigger in less than 5% of sessions. The underlying model, Mythos 5, is the same as Fable 5 but with safeguards lifted in specific areas, primarily for specialized applications like cybersecurity. Mythos 5 is initially deployed through Project Glasswing in collaboration with the US government for cyberdefense and infrastructure providers, offering the strongest cybersecurity capabilities globally. Both models are offered at competitive API pricing, significantly lower than previous Mythos Preview models, aiming to make advanced AI capabilities accessible to a broader user base.
