Claude Fable 5
.

All current Claude models support text and image input, text output, multilingual capabilities, and vision. Models are available through the Claude API,
Amazon Bedrock
,
Claude Platform on AWS
,
Google Cloud
, and
Microsoft Foundry
.

Once you've picked a model,

Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5

Claude Fable 5 (
claude-fable-5
) is Anthropic's most capable widely released model. Claude Mythos 5 (
claude-mythos-5
) shares Claude Fable 5's specs and pricing and joins the invitation-only Claude Mythos Preview (
claude-mythos-preview
) within
Project Glasswing
. See
Introducing Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5
 for launch details and API changes.

Claude Fable 5 is generally available on the Claude API, Amazon Bedrock, Claude Platform on AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Foundry beginning June 9, 2026. Claude Mythos 5 is not generally available: it is offered in limited availability to approved customers in
Project Glasswing
, beginning the same day. For access, contact your Anthropic, AWS, or Google Cloud account team.

Reliable knowledge cutoff
 indicates the date through which a model's knowledge is most extensive and reliable.
Training data cutoff
 is the broader date range of training data used. For more information, see

.

3 Claude Fable 5, Claude Opus 5, and Claude Sonnet 5 are available on Bedrock through
Claude in Amazon Bedrock
 (the Messages-API Bedrock endpoint).


Claude Mythos 5 and Claude Mythos Preview are offered separately for defensive cybersecurity workflows as part of
Project Glasswing
. Access is invitation-only and there is no self-serve sign-up.


Every Claude model ID is a pinned snapshot. Models with a date in the ID (for example,
20250929
) are fixed to that specific release. Starting with the Claude 4.6 generation, model IDs use a dateless format that is also a pinned snapshot, not an evergreen pointer. For models before the 4.6 generation, entries in the Claude API alias column are convenience pointers that resolve to a dated model ID. For details on the naming convention and how versioning works, see
Model IDs and versioning
.


Starting with
Claude Sonnet 4.5 and all subsequent models
 (including Claude Sonnet 4.6), Bedrock offers two endpoint types:
global endpoints
 (dynamic routing for maximum availability) and
regional endpoints
 (guaranteed data routing through specific geographic regions). Google Cloud offers three endpoint types: global endpoints,
multi-region endpoints
 (dynamic routing within a geographic area), and regional endpoints. For more information, see
Cloud platform pricing
.


Claude Platform on AWS
 uses the same model IDs as the Claude API (for example,
claude-opus-4-6
), not Bedrock-style IDs. Model lifecycle on Claude Platform on AWS follows Anthropic's first-party
Model deprecations
, not Bedrock's. See
Available models
 for the model list.


You can query model capabilities and token limits programmatically with the
Models API
. The response includes
max_input_tokens
,
max_tokens
, and a
capabilities
 object for every available model.


On Claude Opus 4.8, the
effort
 parameter defaults to
high
 on all surfaces, including the Claude API, Claude Code, and claude.ai. On Claude Opus 5 and Claude Sonnet 5, it defaults to
high
 on the Claude API and Claude Code. Set
effort
 explicitly to use a different level. See
Effort
 for guidance on choosing a level.


The Max output values in the table apply to the synchronous Messages API. On the
Message Batches API
, Claude Opus 5, Opus 4.8, Opus 4.7, Opus 4.6, Sonnet 5, and Sonnet 4.6 support up to 300k output tokens by using the
output-300k-2026-03-24
 beta header.

Prompt and output performance

Current Claude models excel in:

Performance:
 Top-tier results in reasoning, coding, multilingual tasks, long-context handling, honesty, and image processing. See
Prompting best practices
 for general and model-specific prompting guidance.

Engaging responses:
 Claude models are ideal for applications that require rich, human-like interactions.

If you prefer more concise responses, you can adjust your prompts to guide the model toward the desired output length. Refer to the
prompt engineering guides
 for details.

For prompting best practices, see
Prompting best practices
.

Output quality:
 When migrating from a previous model generation, you may notice larger improvements in overall performance.
