About Claude Fable 5

Adaptive thinking always-on with effort-based control
1M-token context window and 128K output
Safety classifiers that can decline requests

Claude Fable 5 is Anthropic's most capable widely released model, built for the most demanding reasoning and long-horizon agentic work, described as "next-generation intelligence for long-running agents." It runs adaptive thinking always-on with effort-based depth control, supports a 1M-token context window (vendor spec; see the context tile for what's served here) and 128K output tokens at the vendor spec (served at 200K context / 64K output on Synthorai today), and launches with the memory tool, code execution, programmatic tool calling, compaction, and vision.

  • Uniquely, it includes safety classifiers that can decline requests, with documented fallback and billing-credit mechanics.
  • Synthorai serves Claude Fable 5 (currently an invite-only beta on the platform) through its OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
