Anthropic Releases Claude Fable 5.1, Cuts Cached Token Pricing by 75%

Anthropic says the new models improve coding and knowledge work while cutting cache-read costs by 75% and reducing agent expenses by up to 45%.

  • On Tuesday, Anthropic released upgraded Claude Fable 5.1 and Mythos 5.1 models, delivering faster coding performance and lower developer costs across major cloud platforms.
  • Anthropic developed these models to address customer criticisms regarding pricing, data retention, and overzealous safeguards, stating it "improved our safeguards" to reduce false interventions.
  • By slashing cache read pricing by 75% to $0.25 per million tokens, Anthropic lowered typical workload costs by roughly 25%, with savings reaching up to 45% for heavily agentic tasks.
  • Enterprise Frontier Safeguards offer "complete privacy" by storing data on customer cloud servers, while Mythos 5.1 provides vetted organizations permissive access for advanced security and life sciences work.
  • Industry analysts view the release as strategically timed before expected IPO paperwork this month, with Gavin Baker, managing partner at Atreides Management, calling it "quite a flex" against competitor OpenAI's Astra model.
