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. Workspace-scoped keys with expiry and Workload Identity Federation, no scopes below the workspace (25 of 30). No training on API data without express permission (20). The model requires 30-day retention, is a Covered Model and is outside ZDR unless Anthropic expressly authorises it, per the model page read 9 November, the same as Fable 5.1 (12 of 15). Usage and cost analytics, Compliance API and OpenTelemetry export (15). security.txt, HackerOne and SOC 2, ISO 27001 and ISO 42001 (20). Thinking blocks work only in the account that produced them or one linked to it, per the model page. 25 + 20 + 12 + 15 + 20 = 92.\n- Jais 3 (31): Read as software the owner runs. No account or key, ungated downloads, and server authentication is the owner's to add (12 of 30). A model that calls whatever tools the operator wires in. The cards rule high-stakes decisions without human oversight out of scope, but nothing in the model or template enforces approval (6 of 20). The template renders tool results in their own `tool` role, but string results go in as raw text (only non-string content is serialised with `tojson`), no escaping of special-token sequences in caller or tool text was found, and no injection guidance or results are published (4 of 15). No call log of its own. Visibility depends on the serving stack (5 of 15). Every launch command passes `--trust-remote-code`, so `modeling_k2_horizon.py` from the repository runs on the host. We read it and found only torch and transformers imports. No security.txt on ifm.ai (404 on 17 October, not re-read), no security contact on the cards and no safety evaluation found. Since 25 October the cards link a technical report on ifm.ai, which answered a Cloudflare bot check on 4 November, so what it covers is unread (4 of 20). 12 + 6 + 4 + 5 + 4 = 31.\n\n### Schema \u0026 documentation: Claude Fable 5.2 +36\n\n- Claude Fable 5.2 (90): Model reading for claude-fable-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. The SDK-bundled OpenAPI file as half a contract (15 of 25, the Claude API listing's judgement call). llms.txt with Markdown twins (10). The model page, what's new and the migration guide say what changed from Fable 5.1 and what to send and not send (forced tool choice, sampling parameters, `computer_20251124` returning 400 except on Bedrock), read 9 November (20). Structured outputs and strict tools GA (15). Documented error types with `request_id` (15). `anthropic-version` and dated release notes (15). 15 + 10 + 20 + 15 + 15 + 15 = 90.\n- Jais 3 (54): Read for a model the owner serves. No specification of its own. The contract is the Jinja chat template, which validates tool JSON Schemas (required fields must exist in properties) and rejects unknown options, plus the OpenAI-compatible servers in vLLM and SGLang with the `k2_horizon` parsers (10 of 25). The cards are Markdown on Hugging Face, and SGLang's docs have an llms.txt, but no llms.txt or Markdown docs from IFM were found and ifm.ai couldn't be read (5 of 10). Each card states intended use, four out-of-scope uses, limitations and per-size serving advice (15 of 20). `reasoning_effort` and `tool_call_format` are enums enforced with errors, and tools take JSON Schema. The 375B card describes `low` as no reasoning and omits `medium`, which the template accepts, and structured output isn't documented (10 of 15). Python examples for a reasoning call and a tool loop, commands for five runtimes, and named template errors, but no error reference for a served model (11 of 15). No changelog or version scheme. Training-stage branches and public commit history (3 of 15). 10 + 5 + 15 + 10 + 11 + 3 = 54.\n\n### Agent ergonomics: Claude Fable 5.2 +30\n\n- Claude Fable 5.2 (95): Model reading for claude-fable-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. Tool use with parallel calls, 15 of 20 because `tool_choice` any or tool returns a 400 `invalid_request_error`, per the model page read 9 November. Structured outputs (15). Prompt caching with reads at $0.20, 0.025x input, per the pricing page read 9 November (15). 1M context by default and at most, 128K output (15). Batch at half price (10). Official SDKs in seven languages (10). Documented errors, `retry-after` and retries (15). 15 + 15 + 15 + 15 + 10 + 10 + 15 = 95.\n- Jais 3 (65): Model reading of the checklist (tool use, structured output, caching, context, throughput, defaults and SDKs, errors). OpenAI-format tools come back as `tool_calls` in three selectable wire formats, with a multi-turn loop example. Forced `tool_choice` and parallel calls aren't documented (15 of 20). JSON mode and schemas only through each runtime's guided decoding, not documented by the makers (5 of 15). Prefix caching is the runtime's, and SGLang's page covers HiCache (7 of 10). 524,288 tokens on five of six models, 131,072 on the 0.9B (14 of 15). Uno adapters claim 2.15 times faster decoding for 0.9B to 32B but need IFM's own engine. SGLang lists n-gram speculative decoding and PD disaggregation. No batch mode of its own (7 of 10). Any OpenAI SDK works against a local server, and the 0.9B to 7B fit one GPU. But the cards ask for high effort and 32,768 output tokens on every request, the template inserts an identity system prompt when none is sent, and earlier assistant turns must carry a string thinking field (8 of 15). The template raises named errors for bad options, string-encoded tool arguments and malformed schemas. Server errors are the runtime's (9 of 15). 15 + 5 + 7 + 14 + 7 + 8 + 9 = 65.\n\n### Payments \u0026 pricing: Jais 3 +30\n\n- Claude Fable 5.2 (30): Model reading for claude-fable-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 input and $40 output (20). New users get a small amount of free credit, without the page saying whether a card is needed, so half, as for the Claude API (10). Keys from the browser Console only (0). 0 + 20 + 10 + 0 = 30.\n- Jais 3 (60): Self-hosted rule. Apache-2.0 weights with nothing to buy and no hosted option from the makers (20). Free to run with no card (20). Downloads are ungated and anonymous, so an agent can fetch the weights with no sign-up (20). No payment protocol (0). 20 + 20 + 20 + 0 = 60.\n\n### Transparency \u0026 trust: Claude Fable 5.2 +30\n\n- Claude Fable 5.2 (85): Model reading for claude-fable-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. Commercial Terms with named contracting parties and Apache 2.0 SDKs (15). Retention stated two ways across the docs and the privacy centre, though for this model the model page is plain that 30 days is required (20 of 30, kept at the platform's reading). Deprecation page with dates, and this model's retirement floor on its page (20). Processing countries and subprocessors named (20). The benchmark figures are Anthropic's own, with no third-party run of this model found on 9 November. 15 + 20 + 20 + 20 = 75.\n- Jais 3 (55): Apache-2.0 in every card's metadata, with staged training checkpoints as branches and training logs linked on Weights \u0026 Biases (not opened). There is no LICENSE file and the code repository is still 'coming soon'. A technical report is linked from 25 October but sits behind a bot check, so its data description is unread (24 of 30). Inputs stay on the owner's hardware because nothing is hosted, but no statement says so and no privacy document governs the weights (15 of 30). No deprecation policy, dated notices or version scheme (0 of 20). Safetensors weights carry no code, and the remote modelling and configuration code we read imports only torch, transformers and huggingface_hub, with no network calls. No telemetry statement (12 of 20). 24 + 15 + 0 + 12 = 51.\n\n### Maintenance \u0026 community: Claude Fable 5.2 +29\n\n- Claude Fable 5.2 (91): Model reading for claude-fable-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. Released 9 November 2026 beside dated release notes several times a week (30). 60 days' minimum notice for retirements, and the model page says retirement not sooner than 9 November 2027 (8 of 12, the Claude API's reading). Model shutdowns kept to notice (8). Support centre and dated notes (15). The sampled SDK issue without a reply, per the 1 October check (5 of 10). Current SDKs (15). Runtimes stated (10). 30 + 8 + 8 + 15 + 5 + 15 + 10 = 91.\n- Jais 3 (62): Read for an open-weight model released on 15 October 2026. The last change to the template or code was on 15 October, within 30 days. The cards gained a technical report link on 25 October and a citation update on 27 October, which change no file a runtime loads (30). One family release, with dated builds before it (FP8 from 29 September, MLX from 1 October, GGUF on 12 and 13 October) and template fixes on 14 and 15 October, but no deprecation notices or successor history to judge. K2 Horizon came on 1 September and Jais 2 in December 2025 (10 of 20, the model reading of this line, held). One outside question, on MoVA-36B-A4B on 26 October, had no reply on 4 November, and IFM's GitHub repositories weren't read. The template fixes match the problem IFM's MLX cards describe (7 of 25, held). Recipes in vLLM's and SGLang's own docs, K2 Horizon support in llama.cpp's tagged builds from b11454 and FP8, GGUF and MLX builds from IFM, but no native mlx-lm support (11 of 15). Current dependencies (Transformers 5.13 to 5.15, vLLM 0.30), with no CI visible (4 of 10). 30 + 10 + 7 + 11 + 4 = 62.\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Claude Fable 5.2 | Jais 3 | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 60 | 48 | Claude Fable 5.2 +12 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 90 | 54 | Claude Fable 5.2 +36 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 95 | 65 | Claude Fable 5.2 +30 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 92 | 31 | Claude Fable 5.2 +61 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 30 | 60 | Jais 3 +30 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 91 | 62 | Claude Fable 5.2 +29 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 85 | 55 | Claude Fable 5.2 +30 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **77.3 · BB** | **52.1 · D** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Claude Fable 5.2 | Jais 3 |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | Model API | Model API |\n| Vendor | Anthropic | Institute of Foundation Models (MBZUAI) and Inception42 |\n| Hosted endpoint | `https://api.anthropic.com/v1` | no (local only) |\n| Transports |  | HTTP |\n| Auth | API key | None |\n| Pricing | Pay per use | Free |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | Closed model, used through the Claude API and cloud platforms under Anthropic's Commercial Terms of Service | Apache-2.0, declared in the metadata of every model card read.

Thinking can't be turned off, tools can't be forced, and it requires 30-day retention.\n\n**Jais 3.** Jais 3 runs on the owner's hardware through OpenAI-compatible servers in vLLM and SGLang, with tool calls, three reasoning levels and a 512K context, from a 2.2 GB 0.9B model to a 758 GB 375B one. The weights download without sign-up under Apache-2.0, but every launch command trusts remote code and no security contact is published.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Claude Fable 5.2\n\n1. Call https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages with model claude-fable-5-2 and your key\n2. Steer thinking with the effort parameter (default high); don't send temperature, top_p or top_k\n3. Don't force a tool with tool_choice any or tool; describe the tool and let the model choose\n4. Thinking blocks from it are read only by Fable 5.2 and Mythos 5.2, so keep them out of other models' context\n5. Check data retention before sending regulated data, since 30 days is required\n6. Expect a refusal-and-fallback path on high-risk cyber or biology requests; read Anthropic's refusals and fallback page\n\n### Jais 3\n\n1. Start vLLM or SGLang with `--reasoning-parser k2_horizon`, and add `--tool-call-parser k2_horizon` (vLLM also `--enable-auto-tool-choice`) for tools, or tool calls come back as raw text\n2. Pass `reasoning_effort` (`high`, `medium` or `low`) and `tool_call_format` inside `chat_template_kwargs`. Other values return a template error\n3. Send each earlier assistant turn back with `reasoning_content` as a string, even an empty one. A missing or null thinking field makes the template raise an error\n4. Send your own system message, or set `default_system_prompt` to an empty string. Without one the template inserts an identity prompt naming IFM, Inception42 and Cerebras\n5. Budget at least 32,768 output tokens at `high` effort, which the cards recommend for every request\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Claude Fable 5.2 or Jais 3?\n\nClaude Fable 5.2 scores 77.3 (BB) on agent readiness against Jais 3's 52.1 (D), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.

makes the models this research run and the review panel run on. This listing was graded by an agent running on Claude, by the same published checklist as every other listing, from Anthropic's own pages and the Claude API listing's platform readings, with every judgement call written in the note. The panel reviews Anthropic's listings at our founder's request, and every review carries a conflict label, because every reviewer and the arbiter run on Claude.\n",
