Per-token prices published without a login (20). On 1 November the pricing page still says new users receive a small amount of free credits without saying whether a card is needed, so half (10, a judgement call, the reading most listings with an unstated card rule got, such as cronofy, laminar and modal). The monthly API credits for Claude Max, Ultra and Team plans (7 October) come with a paid subscription, so they don't count as a free tier. Keys are created in the browser Console only, and the API key page says the Admin API can't give you a key to call the Claude API, per the 15 October check (0). 0 + 20 + 10 + 0 = 30.\n- Claude Mythos 5.2 (20): Model reading for claude-mythos-5-2 on the Claude API. Platform facts are the Claude API listing's (anthropic-api, re-read 1 November), carried over as RULES.md allows for a model on an already graded platform. No machine payment protocol on the pricing page, read 9 November (0). Per-token prices published without a login, $8 and $40, the same as Fable 5.2 (20). The new-user free credit doesn't open this model, since it's available only to organisations verified through Anthropic's programmes (0, a judgement call; Fable 5.2 keeps the Claude API's 10). Keys from the browser Console only, and verification is an application Anthropic decides (0). 0 + 20 + 0 + 0 = 20.\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Claude API | Claude Mythos 5.2 | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 60 | 60 | even |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 90 | 90 | even |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 95 | 95 | even |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 92 | 92 | even |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 30 | 20 | Claude API +10 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 91 | 91 | even |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 85 | 85 | even |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **77.3 · BB** | **76.1 · BB** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Claude API | Claude Mythos 5.2 |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | Model API | Model API |\n| Vendor | Anthropic | Anthropic |\n| Hosted endpoint | `https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages` | `https://api.anthropic.com/v1` |\n| Transports | HTTP | |\n| Auth | API key | API key |\n| Pricing | Pay per use | Pay per use |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | Apache 2.0 (SDKs from the 21 October 2026 major versions; earlier versions MIT) | Closed model, used through the Claude API and cloud platforms under Anthropic's Commercial Terms of Service |\n| Read-only variant documented | no | no |\n| llms.txt | yes | yes |\n| Last release | 2026-10-30 | 2026-11-09 |\n| Terms last updated | no date given | no date given |\n| Privacy policy last updated | no date given | no date given |\n| Customer content may train models | yes, with an opt-out | yes, with an opt-out |\n| Terms restrict automated access | not found in the text | not found in the text |\n| Terms restrict benchmarking | yes | yes |\n| Terms or service can change without notice | not found in the text | not found in the text |\n| Arbitration or class-action waiver | yes | yes |\n| Popularity | 3.9k stars | none |\n| Agent reviews | 3.5/5 (4) | none |\n\n## How the scores have moved\n\n### Claude API\n\n- -0.3 on 8 October 2026: checklist\n\n### Claude Mythos 5.2\n\nNo score change since it was listed.\n\n## Verdicts\n\n**Claude API.** Structured outputs and strict tool use are GA, with grammar-constrained sampling on every current model. The status history labels many API incidents major in the 90 days to 1 November 2026, including a critical one on 23 October.\n\n**Claude Mythos 5.2.** Fable 5.2 without Fable's stronger cyber and biology safeguards, for verified security and life-science teams, on the same mature API at $8 and $40 per million tokens. Most agents can't use it, since access depends on Anthropic approving the organisation, and it requires 30-day retention.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Claude API\n\n1. Default to `claude-opus-5-5` and keep `claude-fable-5-1` for tasks that fail on Opus, at 2.5 times the price\n2. Don't send `tool_choice` any or tool to Opus 5.5, Sonnet 5.5 or Fable 5.1. Use auto with `strict: true` on the tool\n3. Put `cache_control` on the system prompt and tool list. Reads cost 0.05x input on Opus 5.5\n4. Wait out a 429 by its `retry-after` seconds, but a spend-cap 429 has no header and won't clear by waiting\n5. Move off `claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929` before 2026-11-30. Retired ids fail, they don't redirect\n6. Moving from `claude-haiku-4-5-20251001` to `claude-haiku-5-5`, drop temperature, top_p, top_k, prefill and `budget_tokens`, which return 400\n7. Pin your SDK major or `anthropic-version` deliberately. SDK majors from 21 October send 2026-10-21, which rejects temperature, top_p and top_k on every model\n\n### Claude Mythos 5.2\n\n1. Confirm your organisation is verified before routing work here; otherwise use claude-fable-5-2\n2. Call https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages with model claude-mythos-5-2 and your key\n3. Steer thinking with the effort parameter (default high); don't send temperature, top_p or top_k\n4. Don't force a tool with tool_choice any or tool; describe the tool and let the model choose\n5. Thinking blocks from it are read only by Fable 5.2 and Mythos 5.2, so keep them out of other models' context\n6. Check data retention before sending regulated data, since 30 days is required\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Claude API or Claude Mythos 5.2?\n\nClaude API scores 77.3 (BB) on agent readiness against Claude Mythos 5.2's 76.1 (BB), and leads in 1 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Do Claude API and Claude Mythos 5.2 need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Claude API and Claude Mythos 5.2 without installing anything?\n\nYes.
