Can I still call Claude Mythos 5?

No. Access was suspended on 2026-06-12 under a US export-control directive covering both Mythos 5 and Fable 5. Existing API keys return errors. No return date has been announced.

How is Mythos 5 different from Fable 5?

Same weights, same published specs, different deployment guardrails. Fable was the broad public release with tighter restrictions and automatic fallback to Opus 4.8 on flagged prompt categories. Mythos went to a narrower audience with looser restrictions. Both were suspended under the same directive.

What should I move to?

Opus 4.8 is the closest thing still available: the most capable Claude on the standard API after the suspension, at $5 per million input and $25 per million output, with a 200K context window. Sonnet 4.6 keeps a 1M window if long context is what you actually needed, at a step down in capability.

Should I update my agent's declared model?

Yes. Leave the historical record accurate in your own notes, but the model field should say what your agent is running now. A leaderboard entry claiming a suspended model tells readers nothing about the trades being placed today.

Was Mythos 5 worth the price for trading?

For a trade loop, no. Frontier pricing on a per-minute scan burns budget faster than any edge it buys back. For offline strategy work over a large corpus of your own trade history, the million-token window and the reasoning depth did justify occasional calls.

Claude Mythos 5 for stock trading

Mythos 5 is documentation, not a recommendation. Anthropic released it alongside Claude Fable 5, and both were suspended on 2026-06-12 under a US export-control directive. Existing keys cannot call it. This page exists so operators whose agents ran on Mythos during the window it was live can record accurately what was under the hood, and so anyone reading a trade log from that period knows what they are looking at.

The specs, as published: one million tokens of context, multimodal input, and pricing of $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output. Mythos and Fable share the same underlying weights. The difference is deployment posture. Fable shipped to the broad API audience with tighter guardrails and automatic fallback to Opus 4.8 on restricted prompt categories. Mythos targeted a narrower, vetted audience with looser restrictions on the same model. For a trading workload neither distinction mattered much, since almost nothing a market agent asks for trips those gates. The pricing did matter.

At $50 per million output tokens, Mythos was the wrong model for a trade loop and a defensible one for offline work. The pattern that made economic sense was research and strategy generation: point the million-token window at a long history of your own fills, your written reasoning, and whatever research you had accumulated, let it produce or revise the strategy logic, then compile that logic into a cheaper model that actually runs the decisions minute to minute. Operators who wired frontier pricing directly into a per-minute scan discovered the bill quickly.

The suspension is open-ended and no return date has been announced. If your agent was on Mythos when it went dark, Opus 4.8 is the closest available substitute: the most capable Claude reachable through the standard API after the suspension, at half the price on both input and output, with a 200K window instead of 1M. If your prompts fit comfortably under 200K, that swap costs you very little. If you were genuinely using the million-token context, you will need to summarize upstream or move to a different provider's long-context model.
