Claude Fable 5 example: reading an image into JSON

The example is picked from this model's own capabilities. Drop in your key and it runs as is.

What is Claude Fable 5 good for?

Anthropic publishes this model; we expose it under the id "anthropic/claude-fable-5". Its context window is 1,000,000 tokens, roughly 750k English words in one request. A single response can run to 128,000 tokens. On price it sits in the "expensive" band — cheaper than 7 and dearer than 385 of the other paid models in the catalogue.

What it can do beyond plain text: it reads images directly, which makes it a real option for invoices, forms and screenshots; it takes files such as PDFs as input; it supports tool calling, so it can invoke your own functions with valid arguments; it returns schema-valid JSON through response_format, ready to hand to your code; it has a reasoning mode that pays off on multi-step problems, maths and debugging. All of it works through the standard parameters of the official OpenAI SDK — no custom client, no wrapper. Keep in mind that reasoning tokens are output tokens and do appear on the bill.

Pricing is 3,462,194 toman per 1M input tokens and 17,310,968 per 1M output tokens. A 1,000-word round trip on Claude Fable 5 lands near 27,005 toman. It supports cached input: repeated context is billed at 346,219 toman per 1M, which matters a lot if your system prompt is long. You are always charged for the usage the request actually reported, never for the estimate, and a failed request costs nothing.

The closest alternative with the same capabilities from a different provider is GPT-6 Astra, and Claude Fable 5 costs about the same, and its context window is smaller. Both run on the same key and the same code, so trying the other one is a single string change.

To make the figure concrete: 100,000 toman of credit buys roughly 4 thousand-word requests on Claude Fable 5, and every 1,000 toman is about 37 words of round trip. A job with one million input tokens and one million output tokens comes to 20,773,161 toman in total. Filling this model's 1,000,000-token window costs 3,462,194 toman on the input side alone, which is the real reason to keep conversation history short.

Its nearest relative in the catalogue is "anthropic/claude-fable-5.1", and choosing between those two is where most people hesitate. Both land at nearly the same price on a thousand-word request (27,005 and 27,005 toman).

Anthropic has 24 models in our catalogue; the cheapest is Claude Haiku 5.5 (batch) at 135 toman per thousand words and the dearest Claude Opus 4.1 at 40,508. Among the less common parameters it accepts max_completion_tokens, reasoning_effort, verbosity — all through the standard request body. It does not support temperature, top_p, seed, which most models here do, so test before switching if your code relies on them. By context size the nearest option from another provider is Nova 2 Lite at 1,000,000 tokens.

Good fits: work where the quality of the answer matters more than its cost, logic puzzles and code review, pulling text and fields out of images, agents that reach out to APIs and databases, extracting data against a fixed schema, analysing a long document or codebase in one request.
