Anthropic's latest AI can build complex software and even design physical objects. Users are producing impressive results, and estimated bills large enough to make developers wince. Anthropic released Claude Fable 5.2 and Mythos 5.2 on Monday, promising AI models that can turn a handful of instructions into working software, design physical objects, and tackle research problems that previously required teams of specialists. You
The problem
In YouTuber Matthew Berman's tests, one Gears of War-style level took 43 hours and 48 minutes, 8.63 billion tokens and an estimated $14,710 in pay-as-you-go API costs.
What this doesn’t fix
The dollar figures are estimated API costs from one YouTuber's tests, the projects had bugs and unfinished features, and the benchmark and physics and device claims come from Anthropic and need independent scrutiny.

How to check it yourself, without trusting this page
Download any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-2453 and hash its canonical field yourself, for example with shasum -a 256. You should get its content_hash. Each version’s text also ends with prev:and the hash of the version before it (version 1 points to 64 zeros). If anyone had changed a single character of any version after it was saved, those hashes wouldn’t line up.
