Is anyone else confounded by this naming scheme? I can see from the article's first two footnotes that Mythos is supposed to be a tier above the standard Haiku/Sonnet/Opus sequence. Ok that's fine since we learned about Mythos and Project Glasswing earlier this year.
But now there is Fable--and why "Fable 5" even though this is a first launch? How is it related to Opus 4.8, Sonnet 4.6, Haiku 4.5, etc??
From what I've gathered, Mythos is the uncensored version, for institutional use, and then Fable is the censored version for general public, that won't talk about biology, encryption or anything remotely interesting
The first number is which generation of their LLMs it belongs to.
Fable is the first model in the 5th generation.
The second number is an incremental release, not a generational leap forward.
It seems it is just like macOS releases, they have a number and they give the numbers arbitrary names to refer to them?
