Anthropic Launches Claude Fable 5.2 With 20% Price Cut Ahead of IPO
Anthropic released Claude Fable 5.2 and Mythos 5.2 on Monday, claiming the top spot on 13 of 15 benchmark score lines against GPT-6 Astra and Gemini 4 Carbon. The new models are 30% faster and 20% cheaper than their predecessors, priced at $8 per million input tokens — undercutting OpenAI's flagship.
