Anthropic just released Claude Fable 5, the first public Mythos-class model and the start of the Claude 5 family. It is their most capable model ever but… kinda scary. This week on AI For Humans, the Mythos era goes public. Anthropic released Claude Fable 5, the first commercially available Mythos-class model and the first in the new Claude 5 line. It is the same underlying model as Mythos but shipped with conservative safeguards, questions about cybersecurity and biology get routed to Claude Opus 4.8 instead. We dig into what it can do, why Anthropic held it back, and what our future looks like as we get closer to AGI. Then Apple goes AI again at WWDC: a profoundly revamped Siri AI, a dedicated Siri app, on-screen awareness, much better photo tools, and a foundation model setup that is local, multimodal, and partly powered by Google.
