New Model: Claude Fable 5

We've added Claude Fable 5, Anthropic's most capable model, sitting above Claude Opus 4.8 as the new top tier for the toughest reasoning and agentic work.

  • 1M token context window — work with entire codebases, research papers, or large document sets
  • 128K maximum output — generate lengthy reports and code in a single response
  • Always-on adaptive thinking — Fable 5 thinks through problems automatically, calibrating depth to the task without any configuration
  • Available on the Pro plan and above

Claude Fable 5 doesn't replace Claude Opus 4.8 — both remain available side by side, so you can pick Opus 4.8 for everyday advanced work and Fable 5 when a task calls for maximum capability.
