Claude Fable 5.1 is now available in Cursor!

 ![Screenshot 2026-09-01 at 20.24.23](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/b/b/bb9e1864c721858c283496fae1200216c59d4687.png)

It’s the most capable model we’ve run on CursorBench 3.2, scoring 73.4% at max effort.

We found it especially skilled at verifying its own work, allowing it to take on difficult coding tasks from start to finish.

Fable 5.1 has the same privacy considerations as other Fable models because of how Anthropic handles data retention. If Privacy Mode is enabled for your account, team, or organization, you will need to approve Fable 5.1’s Data Retention Policy in the [Cursor Dashboard](https://cursor.com/dashboard/) before you can use the model.

Is this model ever chosen in “auto” mode? Or must it be selected manually?
