Anthropic Releases Claude Fable 5.2
Anthropic has released Claude Fable 5.2, a new AI model that tops Artificial Analysis and Vals AI rankings while offering faster generation and lower API pricing.
Anthropic has released Claude Fable 5.2. The new AI model takes first place in the Artificial Analysis and Vals AI rankings, generates responses up to 30% faster than Fable 5.1, and is 20% cheaper.
- In the API, pricing has been reduced to $8/$40 per million tokens.
- In agentic programming, the model is comparable to Opus 5.5, but on some benchmarks it costs almost twice as little per task.
- Fast Mode speeds up generation by up to 2.5× for double the price.
- The model is already available in Claude and through the API.
To mark the release, Anthropic is offering bonuses: Pro subscribers will receive a week of access to Fable and one limit reset, while Max and Ultra users will receive 1 to 3 additional resets depending on the subscription duration.
