Anthropic, the maker of the Claude artificial intelligence ( AI) models, made a new version of its technology available to the general public on Tuesday while restricting its use in sensitive areas. Dubbed Fable 5, the model is the first to be made widely available from the company's new Mythos class - its most advanced lineup of AI technology, unveiled in April but restricted to a small set of partner institutions for months over cybersecurity concerns. Anthropic promoted Fable 5 as useful for writing and debugging software code, answering complex research questions and analyzing images. Anthropic says the world should have option to'pause' on AI In parallel, Anthropic is offering an unrestricted version, Claude Mythos 5, to companies and organizations that already have access to this model family - including cybersecurity partners enrolled in its Project Glasswing program. That select group was expanded in early June to about 200 organizations in more than 15 countries and is expected to grow further.

Anthropic has just announced Fable, the start of a new family of models that brings many of the capabilities of its Mythos system to the public. As a refresher, Mythos is the state-of-the-art model Anthropic debuted at the start of April through Project Glasswing . The project saw Anthropic share access to the model with select partners, including Apple and NVIDIA, with the aim of helping those organizations harden their software against AI cyberattacks. Glasswing also prompted the White House to rethink its policy on AI regulation .

Anthropic's Claude Fable 5 AI model is now publicly available through the Claude desktop app, showing major improvements in coding, spatial reasoning, and cybersecurity capabilities. PCWorld reports that paid subscribers can access this powerful "Mythos-class" model until June 23rd, after which it requires separate usage credits due to capacity constraints. The release includes conservative safeguards due to extreme cybersecurity capabilities that could potentially be misused, with a less-restricted version available only to select cyberdefenders.
