tl;dr: Claude Fable 5.2 has achieved a score of 65 on Artificial Analysis's Intelligence Index v5.0.1, the highest recorded so far on the benchmark, which aggregates nine evaluations spanning agentic coding, scientific reasoning, knowledge reliability, and document reasoning. The model currently has no publicly available API. The index also tracks cost per task, token usage, context window, and latency metrics alongside raw intelligence scores.
HN Discussion:
  • ~Cost and token usage have exploded dramatically for only modest intelligence gains
  • ↑Fable 5.2 sits on the pareto frontier for speed and intelligence, a meaningful improvement
  • ↓Anthropic's pricing is unjustified compared to cheaper competitors and will hurt them
  • ↓The benchmark itself is untrustworthy due to paid relationships and opaque methodology
  • ↑High cost is acceptable if Fable is used as a planner where top performance matters most
