What is Claude Fable 5?
Claude Fable 5 is Anthropic's newest and most capable model, a new tier that sits above the Opus line. In its launch announcement, Anthropic positions Fable 5 as state-of-the-art across software engineering, knowledge work, vision, and scientific research, and built for long-horizon agent work: given a goal and a harness, it can run for long stretches, planning across stages, delegating to sub-agents, and checking its own work. It ships with a 1M-token context window, and on Anthropic's own API it is priced at $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens.
That long-horizon, self-checking, sub-agent-delegating profile is exactly the kind of work MoClaw is built to run, which is why we are bringing Fable 5 in as a first-class model tier.
How it works on MoClaw
Every new Claude release lands on MoClaw without you changing a thing about how you work. Fable 5 is the same story: when it ships, it shows up in the model picker next to the Claude tiers you already use, and Auto starts routing to it when the task fits.
The reason this matters is that you do not manage Fable 5 access yourself. You do not wait for an API allowlist, juggle a separate key, or rewrite your prompts for a new endpoint. The thread you are already in keeps working, the credits you already have cover it, and prompt caching keeps long conversations cheap across the switch. If you prefer to run on your own Anthropic account, BYOK swaps the billing source at provider rates with no markup, exactly as it does for Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku.
Fable 5 without your own API key
Using Fable 5 through Anthropic's API means a key, a billing account, and $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens metered call by call. On MoClaw it works the other way: Fable 5 is expected to be included in your plan's monthly credits with prompt caching and no markup, so you can use it without ever creating an API key: open a chat, pick the model, go. If you do have an Anthropic account and would rather meter usage there, BYOK routes Fable 5 calls to your key at those same provider rates. Either way, there is no separate Fable 5 signup or allowlist to clear.
What we are committing to
The positioning above is Anthropic's; we are not publishing our own MoClaw-specific benchmarks before the model is live here. What we can say is that Fable 5 will be a first-class tier the moment it is available: selectable per chat, eligible for Auto routing, covered by your plan, and usable with your own key. It is not live yet. This page is where it will land, so check back here for the status.
