Anthropic Claude Fable 5 on AWS: Mythos-class capabilities with built-in safeguards now available

Today, we’re announcing the availability of Claude Fable 5 on Amazon Bedrock and Claude Platform on AWS. Claude Fable 5 makes Mythos-level capabilities available to customers, with strong safeguards designed to make it safe for broader use. Fable 5 is state-of-the-art on nearly all tested benchmarks and delivers exceptional performance in software engineering, knowledge work tasks, and vision – built for ambitious, long running work.

With Claude Fable 5 on Bedrock, you can build within your existing AWS environment and scale inference workloads. You can also use Claude Fable 5 through the Claude Platform on AWS, giving you Anthropic’s native platform experience.

According to Anthropic, Claude Fable 5 represents a step-change in what you can accomplish with AI models. Here is what makes this model different:

Long-running, asynchronous execution— Claude Fable 5 handles complex tasks that previous models could not sustain, executing coding and knowledge work tasks for extended periods without intervention.Advanced vision capabilities— Claude Fable 5 understands diagrams, charts, and tables nested in files and PDFs. This opens up research and document-heavy work in finance, legal, analytics, architecture, and gaming. In coding, the model implements designs with high fidelity and uses vision to critique its output against goals.Proactive self-verification— The model self-updates skills based on learnings, develops its own harnesses and evaluations.

Claude Fable 5 includes safeguards that limit its performance in specific areas where misuse risk is elevated. Harmful prompts related to cybersecurity, biology, chemistry, and health fall back to receive a response from Opus 4.8 instead. Anthropic is able to expand access to nearly all of Claude Fable 5’s state-of-the-art capabilities by developing more powerful safeguards. The same model without these limits is Claude Mythos 5 and it will only be available to a small group of vetted customers.

Claude Fable 5 model in action

You can use Claude Fable 5 in both Amazon Bedrock and Claude Platform on AWS. This post will cover guidance on how to access and use on Amazon Bedrock. For guidance on the Claude Platform on AWS, visit the documentation to learn more.

To get started with Amazon Bedrock, you can access the model programmatically now using the Anthropic Messages API to call the bedrock-runtime or bedrock-mantle endpoints through Anthropic SDK. You can also keep using the Invoke and Converse API on bedrock-runtime through the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) and AWS SDK.

In order to access Claude Fable 5 model, you must opt into data sharing by using the Data Retention API and setting provider_data_share before you can invoke the models. There is no console user interface for this setting at launch.

Here is a sample script to set data retention for bedrock-mantle engine.

curl -X PUT https://bedrock-mantle.us-east-1.api.aws/v1/data_retention \
-H "x-api-key: <your-bedrock-api-key>" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{ "mode": "provider_data_share" }'

If you want to use bedrock-runtime engine, run this sample script.

curl -X PUT https://bedrock.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/data-retention \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <your_bearer_token>" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{ "mode": "provider_data_share" }'

This mode allows Amazon Bedrock to retain and share your inference data with model providers per their requirements. Anthropic requires 30-day inputs and outputs retention, as well as human review. To learn more, visit the Amazon Bedrock abuse detection.

Let’s start with Anthropic SDK for Python using the Messages API on bedrock-mantle endpoint. Install Anthropic SDK.

pip install anthropic

Here is a sample Python code to call Claude Fable 5 model:

import anthropic
client = anthropic.Anthropic(
base_url="https://bedrock-mantle.us-east-1.api.aws/anthropic",
api_key= <your-bedrock-api-key>
)
message = client.messages.create(
model="anthropic.claude-fable-5",
max_tokens=4096,
messages=[
{ "role": "user",
"content": "Design a distributed architecture on AWS in Python that should support 100k requests per second across multiple geographic regions",
},
],
)
print(message.content[0].text)

To learn more, check out Anthropic Messages API code examples and notebook examples for multiple use cases and a variety of programming languages.

You can use Claude Fable 5 in the Bedrock console. Choose Claude Fable 5 in the Playground and test it.

You can also use Claude Fable 5 with the Invoke API and Converse API on bedrock-runtime endpoint. Here’s a example to call Converse API for a unified multi-model experience using the AWS SDK for Python (Boto3):

import boto3
bedrock_runtime = boto3.client("bedrock-runtime", region_name="us-east-1")
response = bedrock_runtime.converse(
modelId="global.anthropic.claude-fable-5",
messages=[
{
"role": "user",
"content": [
{
"text": "Design a distributed architecture on AWS in Python that should support 100k requests per second across multiple geographic regions."
}
]
}
],
inferenceConfig={
"maxTokens": 4096
}
)
print(response["output"]["message"]["content"][0]["text"])

Things to know

Let me share some important technical details that I think you’ll find useful.

Model access— Claude Fable 5 access is gradually expanding for all AWS accounts. If your account doesn’t have access yet, it will be enabled soon depending on your Bedrock usage. If you want to get access to this model quickly, contact your usual AWS Support.Pricing— When a harmful prompt is routed to Opus 4.8 instead of Fable 5, you pay only Opus prices. If a request is blocked mid-conversation, initial tokens are charged at Fable rates and subsequent tokens at Opus rates. To learn more, visit the Amazon Bedrock pricing page.Data retention— For Fable 5, Mythos 5, and future models on Bedrock with similar or higher capability levels, Anthropic will require 30-day retention for all traffic on Mythos-class models. Retaining data for a limited period allows Anthropic to detect patterns of misuse that are not visible from a single exchange. Once you opt into data retention, your data will leave AWS’s data and security boundary.Claude Mythos 5 on Bedrock (Limited Preview)— You can also use Anthropic’s most capable model for cybersecurity and life sciences, including vulnerability discovery, drug design, and biodefense screening. Access is currently limited due to the dual-use nature of these domains. To learn more, visit the model card documentation.

Now available

Anthropic’s Claude Fable 5 model is available today on Amazon Bedrock in the US East (N. Virginia) and Europe (Stockholm) Regions; check the full list of Regions for future updates. Claude Fable 5 is also available on the Claude Platform on AWS in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia Pacific.

Give Claude Fable 5 a try with the Amazon Bedrock APIs, in the Claude Platform on AWS, and send feedback to AWS re:Post for Amazon Bedrock or through your usual AWS Support contacts.

Updated on June 9, 2026 — 1) Updated the console screenshot. You can use the console on bedrock-runtime engine. The console support on bedrock-mantle is coming soon. 2) Fixed the right model id in the sample code, 3) Fixed correct provider_data_share parameter, 4) Add a data retention setting script for bedrock-runtime engine.
