Thought you'd seen it all in AI? Anthropic's launch will leave you in shock

Anthropic has launched the Fable 5.2 and Mythos 5.2 models at aggressive prices, up to 80% cheaper than GPT-6 Astra in cache reads. The models deliver record performance in robotics, hardware design, and mathematics, ahead of the giant Nasdaq IPO.

Anthropic has launched its new flagship models, Claude Fable 5.2 and Claude Mythos 5.2, at aggressive prices designed to compete with OpenAI. The models are up to 80% cheaper in cache reads compared to GPT-6 Astra, and offer high performance in robotics, hardware design, and mathematics. The Fable 5.2 model scored 64.9% on a robotics test, more than double GPT-6 Astra, and designed a complete operating system within eight days. The Mythos 5.2 model identified security vulnerabilities in Firefox that other models missed. The launch comes ahead of Anthropic's giant Nasdaq IPO, after the company recorded $33 billion in revenue in the first nine months of the year, though growth slowed to 47%. The article presents the data from a sympathetic perspective toward the company, using words like 'lands a blow' and 'frontal attack' to describe the business move.
