Anthropic launches Fable 5.2 and Mythos 5.2 AI models
The company unveiled the updated models ahead of a potential Wall Street debut expected as early as this month.
Anthropic PBC has released new versions of its artificial intelligence models, Fable 5.2 and Mythos 5.2, according to reports from Hindustan Times and News18. The company aims to strengthen its position in the AI market as it nears a public listing, which is reportedly planned for the week of November 16.
The new models are up to 30 per cent faster than previous versions and cost 20 per cent less, the company stated. Fable 5.2, which is scheduled for release on Monday, is designed to handle software engineering, hardware-related tasks, and the coordination of over 1,000 AI agents. Mythos 5.2 is being provided to selected organisations through a verification programme and features fewer safeguards for life sciences and cybersecurity work.
Dianne Penn, who leads research product management at Anthropic, said the company used longer testing periods and new evaluation methods for these models. She noted that the new versions are less likely to break out of digital sandboxes than prior versions. Anthropic is also increasing the number of companies that can access Mythos 5.2, including firms in the US and abroad.
The launch comes as Anthropic prepares for an IPO that could potentially raise up to $100 billion. While the company's revenue rose to $17 billion in the third quarter from $1.4 billion a year earlier, its operating loss was $567 million due to increased spending on computing capacity.
