Anthropic launches Fable 5.2 and Mythos 5.2 AI models
Anthropic released two faster, cheaper AI models ahead of a $1 trillion IPO.
Anthropic released two new AI models on Monday, Claude Fable 5.2 and Claude Mythos 5.2, as the company readies for a potential IPO next week. The models generate outputs 30 per cent faster than predecessors and cost 20 per cent less, with pricing at $8 per million input tokens and $40 per million output tokens.
Anthropic said the models underwent rigorous safety testing. The launch marks the first frontier models released since the company called for slowing AI development in September.
The company is targeting a valuation of $1 trillion to $1.5 trillion, down from $2 trillion. Anthropic reported $33.24 billion in revenue for the nine months to September 30, up roughly 1,200 per cent from the same period last year.
