Claude Fable 5.1

Anthropicflagship New

Anthropic's 1 Sep 2026 refresh of Fable 5 and joint #1 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v4.3 at launch at 53, level with GPT-6 Astra (both since passed by Claude Opus 5.5 at 58 and Claude Sonnet 5.5 at 56 on v4.3.2). The two models also carry an identical sticker price of $10/$50, which makes everything else the deciding factor — and on cost per task Fable is the expensive one, at $7.63 against Astra's $3.26 for the same score, driven by verbosity (190M output tokens across the index versus a 90M median). The 98% cache discount is the counterweight: on workloads with heavy prompt reuse the blended rate falls to about $7.17 per 1M, and reuse-dominated traffic changes the arithmetic substantially. One hard constraint to design around: time to first token is 262.88s against a 3.73s median. That is thinking time rather than network latency, but it rules the model out of anything interactive regardless of the cause. 1M context, text and image in, text out, extended reasoning, served through 5 API providers. Anthropic has not published a parameter count.

Cheaper is left, more capable is up. 3 of 62 priced models are both cheaper and score at least as high. Self-host models are left off the price axis — their cost depends on the hardware you run them on, not on tokens.
