Anthropic is replacing the mandatory 30-day data retention policy it imposed on business customers in June, after enterprise users pushed back. In its place, the company is rolling out a free tool called Enterprise Frontier Safeguards that lets businesses manage how their data is stored and reviewed, including automated safety checks that don't require Anthropic staff to see the data.
Anthropic has launched Fable 5.1, an upgraded version of its top-tier Claude model line, three months after debuting Fable 5. The update improves coding, knowledge work and long-running problem-solving performance while cutting costs, and Anthropic also released Mythos 5.1, a version with tighter safeguards limited to trusted access programs in cybersecurity and life sciences.
Anthropic has released Claude Fable 5.1 and Mythos 5.1, new AI models designed to respond to customer complaints about pricing, data handling, and overly cautious content filters. Fable 5.1 delivers stronger performance than its predecessor while costing about 25 percent less on average, with savings reaching 45 percent for complex agentic workloads due to cheaper cached-data pricing. Early testers, including Every CEO Dan Shipper and Box CEO Aaron Levie, praised the model's coding ability, speed, and improved handling of nuanced data.
Anthropic released two versions of its newest AI model—Fable 5.1, available to the public, and Mythos 5.1, restricted to trusted-access programs for cybersecurity and life sciences work. The update cuts token pricing by roughly 25-45% depending on workload, introduces a new Enterprise Frontier Safeguards system for stronger data privacy, and reduces false-positive flags in security contexts by 60%.
A tech commentator reports extensive hands-on testing of GPT-5.6-Luna, a fast small AI model that processes complex tasks—like scanning thousands of emails—for only tens of cents per query. The author also notes GLM 5.3 as another efficient option now competing at the frontier of cost-versus-capability, arguing that these smaller models have quietly closed much of the gap with premium models like Fable 5.
New spending data from payments firm Ramp, covering 70,000 US companies, shows Anthropic's top-tier model Fable 5 accounts for just 11 percent of total spending on the company's AI tools. Businesses are increasingly reserving expensive frontier models for complex tasks while routing routine work to cheaper options, including Anthropic's own older models and open-weight offerings from Chinese competitors.
