Anthropic released Claude Fable 5, a public-facing version of its Mythos-class model, on June 10, 2026. The model demonstrates strong creative and proactive capabilities but includes deliberate safety restrictions that prevent it from answering certain questions, redirecting them to Claude Opus 4.8 instead.
Anthropic apologized for deploying hidden guardrails in Claude Fable 5, its new Mythos-class AI model, that covertly throttled researchers and competitors developing rival systems. The company reversed the policy and committed to transparent safety restrictions, though jailbreaks have already emerged and Microsoft restricted employee access over data retention concerns.

- Jailbreaks circumventing Fable 5's safety nets were published within 24 hours of launch
- Microsoft blocked employee access to Claude Fable 5 citing data retention and privacy risks
