Anthropic launches Fable 5.2 and Mythos 5.2 days before IPO

In depth

Anthropic has launched two new models, Fable 5.2 and Mythos 5.2. According to the company, they are up to 30% faster than the previous version and about 20% lower in price. According to the company, the models outperform OpenAI and Google models on most benchmarks.

The launch comes on the eve of the company's IPO, and according to reports the IPO is expected to take place next week. The launch comes despite calls from institutional investors for a slowdown, and they demand a valuation below $1.5 trillion.

The AI giant is delivering a competitive blow to OpenAI, launching its flagship models with a discount of up to 80% compared with the Astra model. The move is meant to accelerate revenue growth and attract developers back ahead of a Nasdaq listing. The system shows superiority in robotics, mathematics and hardware design, alongside advanced cybersecurity protections.
