Not anti-AI.
Anti-bullshit
about AI.

The most capable model yet just shipped to everyone. Here are the numbers nobody's leading with.

Anthropic released Claude Fable 5, a model from a new tier they call Mythos-class. The launch post is full of capability claims. The parts worth tracking are the access, the price, and the catch.

The honest part is in the fine print. Anthropic says the safeguards are tuned to be cautious, so some harmless requests get caught and silently routed to Claude Opus 4.8. A near-identical model with the cyber safeguards removed, called Mythos 5, goes to a small set of government and infrastructure partners, not to you. The free ride on subscription plans is temporary by design too: available everywhere today, then rationed in two weeks because demand is hard to predict.

None of that is a scandal. It's just the shape of a frontier launch once you read past the benchmark charts: priced to spread fast, gated where it's dangerous.
