1317The headline change for integrations: Claude Fable 5 includes safety classifiers that can decline requests. Claude Mythos 5 does not include these classifiers. If your integration calls Claude Fable 5, plan for three changes: new response handling for refusals, fallback options for retrying on another Claude model, and new billing rules. [Refusals, fallback, and billing on Claude Fable 5](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/models/fable-5/introducing-claude-fable-5-and-claude-mythos-5#refusals-fallback-and-billing-on-claude-fable-5) summarizes all three.
