Mythos-class model above Opus, announced June 9. Strong benchmarks and long autonomous work, but backlash over hidden safeguards (bio, cyber, frontier LLM development) that downgrade to Opus 4.8. Priced at $10/$50 per million tokens, double Opus 4.8. Creator one-shotted a Megabonk clone, an AI Tube YouTube clone and a B-roll generator.

Same underlying model as Fable 5 with safeguards lifted in some areas, available only to a small group of cyber defenders and infrastructure providers.
