Claude Fable 5 - Out Now!

Announcement · Pricing · Docs


Claude Fable 5 is now available in Cursor!

It sets a new state of the art on CursorBench at 72.9%, 8 points above the previous best.

Claude Fable 5 requires you to accept Anthropic’s data retention terms in your dashboard before you can use it. Your code is never used for training. Learn more in our docs.

Holy macarons

I hate that the X axis decreases instead of increases, but I also understand why.

how does it make sense

used fable on low and asked it to fix a tiny bug, took like 3 minutes and used $1.72. idk when anthropic will just release a model thats fast for small tasks. composer 2.5 was better for what i needed and cost me like 13 cents

Fable is known to be tune for long running task, it’s good for small ones too, but yeah

I want to know that, if the Fable recognize my question as a unsafe question, it route to opus model, the pricing will downgrade to opus?

Or, I use Opus actually, but pay as Fable 5?
:joy:

we will have to wait until Anthropic publish official saying about this.. as it’s them who enforced that

very good point

Is it ever routed to in “Auto” mode?

I used it ONCE only in one session, first prompt made a plan, second prompt implemented that plan.
Both times 2.1m TOKENS (WTF)?

While Session only shows like 250k tokens being used !

This sucked like 12% from my API usage (NOt used it this month until now)!

Lot’s of issues so far with it. I’ve had to contact support about the issue it has with parallel agents currently where the parallel agents almost always fail during streaming (and you’re still charged), and then can’t be resumed, etc.

I understand high demand but error handling should be improved on Cursor end for new flagship releases.

Also, are we notified when “Fable 5 runs with tight security guardrails. When a request trips one of those guardrails, Cursor routes it to Claude Opus automatically so your work continues without an error. You don’t need to retry or switch models yourself”. I don’t want to be routed to Opus without knowing. I’d rather just stop the chat at that point and use Opus.

two follow-up prompts / corrections in the same session

wtf this cant be correct

Hey @tangjun!

A user is charged Fable rates for the work Fable did and Opus 4.8 rates for the work Opus did.

Yesterday it worked without max mode, now it doesn’t, what is going on?

Cursor team, I just wanted to say that Fable 5 is literally my most favorite AGI-like LLM model EVER, period. I will keep using Cursor as much as I can still, I love this IDE so much!! Thank you so much for adding this AI model for us to use!

Hello - I have enabled this but I still cannot chose Fable from the list of models in Cursor - what am I doing wrong? I have a Cursor Pro subscription.

She is a thing of beauty!

@alexandruv Have you restarted Cursor since accepting the data policy?

You can also check to see if the model needs to be enabled under Cursor Settings > Models

:broken_heart:

I literally cannot believe this happened. We had it for a few days… It was birthed as a legend, and now it’s dead as one. o7
