San Francisco, 10 November 2026 – Anthropic has introduced Claude Fable 5.2 and Claude Mythos 5.2, offering standard application programming interface prices of USD 8 per million input tokens and USD 40 per million output tokens. The models, announced on 9 November, generate outputs up to 30% faster than their 5.1 predecessors, according to the company. The standard prices are 20% below the previous USD 10 and USD 50 rates.

Anthropic’s performance claims are vendor-reported, while access to Mythos remains restricted to verified organisations rather than all customers.
