Anthropic released Fable and Mythos 5.1, updated versions of its most advanced AI model, with Fable intended to be less restrictive and both versions improving performance.
Anthropic released Fable 5.1 and Mythos 5.1 as updated versions of its flagship Claude models. Cache read pricing dropped 75% to $0.25 per million tokens, while Mythos 5.1 remains limited to Anthropic’s trusted access program and Fable 5.1 expands with broader Fable access via API/plan tiers. The changes also loosen cyber and biology safeguards (intervening 60% and 85% less often), add a private-preview detection API for watermarks, and roll out Enterprise Frontier Safeguards for zero data retention-style monitoring in phases starting later this fall.
Z.AI released GLM-5.3-Flash on August 26 alongside earlier GLM-5.3, and one tester compared both models on three real-style tasks to check whether the cheaper model sacrifices accuracy. Flash was priced at $0.075 per million input tokens and used 38,677 output tokens on a hardest coding spec, taking 455.8 seconds versus GLM-5.3’s 174.7 seconds at 14,801 tokens. Accuracy stayed equal at 27/27 for both, but the outcome for users shifts by workload: Flash is cheaper and faster on easier extraction while the flagship is faster for difficult coding and may change cost-effectiveness if pricing changes.
Runway introduced Solaris, its Gen-4.5 “Interface World Model,” which generates user interfaces one frame at a time instead of writing code first. Runway says Solaris runs 50x faster than its tuned Max setup and was preferred by evaluators 61% of the time over Claude Opus 5-coded UIs. Early access is request-only, and the approach shifts interface creation to model-predicted screen states after each click or drag, raising new consistency and reliability requirements.
