Model removed: Claude Mythos 5 removed
Removed because Claude Mythos 5 is not sold to ordinary API accounts. Anthropic offers it by invitation only, through Project Glasswing, so the per-token price we showed is not one you can pay without that approval. The model has not been retired. Claude Fable 5.1 is the generally available model on the same rate card, at $10 input and $50 output per 1M tokens.
