Anthropic Releases Claude Fable 5.2 and Mythos 5.2 with Lower API Prices
Understand the event
Anthropic released Claude Fable 5.2 and Claude Mythos 5.2, lowering API prices to $8 per million input tokens and $40 per million output tokens, from $10 and $50. Anthropic says both models improve coding, reasoning, and vision, and that Fable produces responses faster than version 5.1. Fable is available to paid users with safeguards for risky cybersecurity and biology tasks; Mythos is limited to organizations approved through Anthropic’s verification programs. The launch reports cite strong benchmark results, including Fable’s first-place score on Artificial Analysis’ Intelligence Index v5 at its highest compute tier. Those figures come from the named benchmark evaluations; Anthropic’s prerelease examples also include software migrations, electronic devices, and physics problems. TechCrunch reports that an optional faster serving mode costs twice as much, while the lower API prices apply to standard use.

- TechCrunch · AIPicksPSI Seeks a Business in AI-Driven Scientific Discovery
Physical Superintelligence (PSI) says David Turturean used early access to Anthropic’s Fable 5.2 to solve the Aaronson-Ambainis conjecture, an 18-year-old problem in quantum computing. Scott Aaronson said he believes the Lean-autoformalized proof is correct, though he does not fully understand it; the result rules out one possible route for quantum computers to solve certain problems quickly. PSI currently earns revenue optimizing data centers and aims to turn theoretical physics breakthroughs into technologies, while working on ways to validate computational results through experiments.
