Anthropic Releases Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1: 52.6% on Terminal-Bench-Science and 75% Cheaper Cache Reads
What changed
Anthropic released Claude Fable 5.1 for general use and Claude Mythos 5.1 for vetted organizations in its Project Glasswing program. Fable 5.1 scored 52.6% on a science and terminal-use test, up from 24.7% for Fable 5, supports up to one million units of text at once, and cuts cache-read prices by 75% while keeping base prices at $10 and $50.
What this means for you
Fable 5.1 is available through Anthropic’s API, AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Foundry, giving organizations a more capable option with cheaper repeated-input reads. Developers should check compatibility before upgrading because three API changes are breaking, including removal of forced tool use.
