Decision evidence

Claude Fable 5.1 is Anthropic's most capable widely released model: closed-weight, released on 2026-09-01, with a 1M-token context window, 128K output tokens and text and image input. Anthropic's model guide starts most workloads on Opus 5.5 and reserves Fable for the highest capability; in the reviewed tests it took 40 minutes and $17 on one front-end prompt, placed last of three models on two real robot tasks, and ranked sixth on AI Coding Daily's coding leaderboard, below Claude Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Astra.
