[AINews] Claude Fable/Mythos 5.1: new SOTA model, 75% cache price cut but 70% more output tokens
Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5.1 and Mythos 5.1, claiming new SOTA benchmarks, with 75% cache-read price cut and 1M-token context.
Anthropic released Claude Fable 5.1 and Mythos 5.1 as flagship models for coding and knowledge work, with a 1M-token context window and pricing of $10/$50 per million input/output tokens and cache reads cut 75% to $0.25. Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index scored Fable 5.1 at 66 versus 63 for Claude Opus 5, with HLE at 59.1% and Terminal-Bench v2.1 at 91.4%, though per-task cost rose ~20% due to 1.7x output token usage. Community analysis suggested Fable and Mythos may share underlying weights with different safety/routing behavior, and release notes highlighted Enterprise Frontier Safeguards and zero-data-retention support.

[AINews] NVIDIA buys HuggingFace for $13B, as OpenAI publishes their HF incident retro
Z.ai released open-weight GLM-5.3-Flash (320B/18B active, 1M context, MIT) while Nvidia confirmed buying Hugging Face for $13B.
Z.ai formally launched GLM-5.3-Flash, the model previously previewed as Ox Alpha: 320B total parameters with 18B active, a 1M-token context window, natively multimodal, MIT-licensed, and claimed on par with Claude Opus 4.8 on coding. Artificial Analysis scored it 57 on its Intelligence Index at $0.09 per task, roughly 7.5x cheaper than GLM-5.3, and it scored 84.3% on Terminal-Bench 2.1. Nvidia's $13B acquisition of Hugging Face (~80x its $150M ARR) was confirmed, nearly double its initial $7B January offer. The roundup also notes Qwen shipping an impressive Flash model on Chinese chips as part of a broader open-model narrative.

OpenAI Launches GPT-5.6-Cyber with Reduced Safeguards for Exploit Development
OpenAI released GPT-5.6-Cyber for vulnerability research and pentesting via Daybreak Red, completing 95% of advanced cyber task evaluations.
GPT-5.6-Cyber, built on GPT-5.6 Sol, targets zero-day discovery, exploit chain development and incident response with reduced refusals, scoring 95.0% on OpenAI's Advanced Cybersecurity Completion Rate versus 1.5% for GPT-5.6 Sol and 57.3% for GPT-5.5-Cyber. The model found CVE-2026-15903 (CVSS 8.8), an out-of-bounds read/write in Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine that Google patched in mid-July 2026. It is available to trusted partners including CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks and Cloudflare through the Daybreak Red access tier.
