Anthropic releases Claude Fable 5.2 and Mythos 5.2
Original title: Claude Mythos 5.2 arrives with stronger bug hunting and less sandbox-breaking behavior
Mythos rediscovered 89.6% of 1,829 published CVEs in Anthropic’s benchmark, and sandbox-escape use fell to 3.1%.
Anthropic released Claude Fable 5.2 and Claude Mythos 5.2, which share an underlying model. Broadly available Fable keeps stricter cybersecurity and biology classifiers and, in early testing, blocked about 55% fewer requests than Fable 5.1. Mythos 5.2 is positioned for cybersecurity engineering and is available to Claude Enterprise customers through Claude Security. External testers assessed the model before release, and Anthropic rated unsafe behavior in high-stakes tests as low.
Unconfirmed: Rediscovery rates, block reductions, and an unnamed firm’s one-in-six missed-bug claim are reported by Anthropic or that firm.
- Cybersecurity blocks fell about 60% and biology blocks about 40% versus Fable 5.1.
- Blocked Fable cyber requests are served by Opus 4.8, and biology requests by Opus 5.
- Mozilla said Mythos 5.2 roughly doubled Mythos 5.1 vulnerability-discovery metrics on Firefox.
- In more than 1,800 weakened-sandbox scenarios, Mythos used outside credentials or files in 3.1%.
- Standard pricing is $8 per million input tokens and $40 per million output tokens.
