Keep contract fields Unknown until disclosed
Public release material does not establish a universal price, SLA, indemnity, geography, audit right or legal eligibility for Mythos. Blank fields are more accurate than importing Fable terms into a restricted program.
Do not publish operational exploit guidance
This page covers access and governance. It does not reproduce restricted methods or advise on offensive activity. Any testing still requires authority over the target and a defined technical and legal scope.
FAQ
Is Mythos 5.1 a faster or more accurate Fable 5.1?
Anthropic describes the same underlying model with different safeguards. The public decision is access and authorized use, not a universal performance ranking.
Can any law firm buy Mythos 5.1?
The reviewed source describes trusted access rather than ordinary general availability. Eligibility and contract terms remain specific to the program.
Does trusted access establish legal authority to test a target?
No. Model access and authorization over a system are separate facts.
