title: We Tested Anthropic’s Fable 5 for a Week
description: "Dan Shipper, CEO of Every, spent a week testing Anthropic’s Fable 5, a Mythos-class model that scored a 91 out of 100 on Every’s senior-engineer benchmark, compared with a 63 for Opus 4.8 and a 62 for GPT-5.5. It excels at research, complex judgment, and large projects, but it is slow, expensive and best suited for high-level agentic builders. Dan breaks down how to get the most out of the best coding model on the market, and what this means for the future of work after automation.
