An experimental Anthropic model named honeycomb briefly appeared inside Cursor, and it did not seem to stay there for long.

On June 9, 2026, Anthropic launched Fable 5 alongside its restricted sibling, Mythos 5, to immense critical acclaim. Billed as a true agentic powerhouse, it shattered existing industry benchmarks, scoring an unprecedented 91/100 on senior-engineer coding tests and heavily outperforming rival models like GPT-5.5.
