Anthropic's Claude Fable 5 tops all six new industry-specific performance indices from Artificial Analysis, covering finance, law, and medicine.

But that lead comes at a steep cost.

In the Strategy & Ops Index, a single task runs $3.48 with Fable 5, more than a hundred times what DeepSeek V4 Pro charges at $0.03.

The score difference is just 12 points.
