Editorial polish: Anthropic Fable 5 / Mythos 5
{"title": "Anthropic's Fable 5 brings Mythos-class capability to general use at $10/$50 per million tokens", "summary": "Fable 5 is Anthropic's first public Mythos-class model — priced at $10/$50 per million input/output tokens, less than half the cost of Mythos Preview — with Stripe reporting that a 50M-line Ruby codebase migration completed in one day rather than the two months a full team would have needed. The simultaneous Mythos 5 launch — the same underlying model, cybersecurity guardrails removed — deploys through Project Glasswing for US government-aligned cyberdefenders, marking the first time Anthropic has formally split a release into tiered access by safety posture rather than capability or price."}

In a 50-million-line Ruby codebase, the model performed a codebase-wide migration in a day that would otherwise have taken a whole team over two months by hand.
Why this matters
- → Fable 5 compresses months of engineering work into days at half prior cost
- → First public Mythos-class model enables frontier AI for mainstream developers
- → Split release strategy signals safety-by-access-tier, not capability-tier approach
