Claude Fable 5 Lands in Microsoft Foundry at $10 per 1M tokens, Expanding GitHub Copilot

3 articles · Updated · Microsoft · Jun 9

Summary

  • Microsoft added Anthropic’s Claude Fable 5 to Foundry on June 9, making the model available in Foundry Models and Foundry Agent Service while extending its role in GitHub Copilot.
  • Fable 5 is built for long-running, multi-stage work such as code refactoring, research synthesis and document-heavy analysis, with stronger vision capabilities for PDFs, charts, diagrams and dense tables.
  • Microsoft is pitching Foundry as the enterprise layer around the model, combining governance, observability, security controls and Microsoft IQ connections to organizational data across Microsoft 365, apps and the web.
  • Anthropic says the broadly available version includes added limits in cybersecurity, biology and chemistry, while a restricted Mythos 5 variant without those domain caps is reserved for select defensive-use participants.
  • Pricing in Foundry is set at $10 per 1 million input tokens and $50 per 1 million output tokens, underscoring Microsoft’s push to move customers from AI pilots into governed production use.
