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- Muse Ember (46): Model reading. Released 9 November 2026 (30). No deprecation policy or notice period found, per the platform reading (0 of 12). Dated launches on the API, the latest Muse Wonder on 12 October and Muse Ember on 9 November (8 of 8). No Model API changelog; a help centre with tickets (8 of 15). No SDK of Meta's own (0 of 15, 0 of 10). 30 + 0 + 8 + 8 + 0 = 46.\n\n### Transparency \u0026 trust: Claude Fable 5.2 +32\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- Muse Ember (53): Editorial half. Closed model under the Model API terms, with clear terms and law; no weights and no parameter count, unlike Muse Spark Open and Muse Glimmer (15). Standard content isn't used for training, retention periods not stated outside zero retention (18 of 30). No deprecation policy or dated notices (0). A subprocessor list linked but not read, no data locations (8 of 20). 15 + 18 + 0 + 8 = 41.\n\n### Schema \u0026 documentation: Claude Fable 5.2 +30\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- Muse Ember (60): Model reading. No OpenAPI file; the Markdown reference is the contract, per the meta-model-api listing (0). llms.txt and Markdown copies of every page (10). The Muse Ember page and choose-a-model page say what to hand it and what not to (hard single-shot coding, knowledge-heavy questions, visual coding), with model ID, inputs, context, max output and effort range (18 of 20). JSON Schema tools and output, reasoning effort an enum, per the platform reading (12 of 15). Curl, Python and TypeScript examples and the platform's error guide (15). A versioned model ID and a dated launch post, with no API changelog (5 of 15). 0 + 10 + 18 + 12 + 15 + 5 = 60.\n\n### Security \u0026 auth: Claude Fable 5.2 +28\n\n- Claude Fable 5.2 (92): 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. 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- Muse Ember (64): Platform readings are the meta-model-api listing's of 4 November. Team keys, named, revocable, no scopes (20 of 30). Standard mode only, so content isn't used to train Meta models under the terms, with safety use reserved (17 of 20). Retention 'as needed' with zero retention through sales (10 of 15). Usage dashboard by model, no per-call log (5 of 15). No security.txt on dev.meta.ai, a bug bounty and a security commitments page, no named certification (12 of 20). 20 + 17 + 10 + 5 + 12 = 64.\n\n### Agent ergonomics: Claude Fable 5.2 +23\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- Muse Ember (72): Model reading. Tool calls, parallel calls, computer use and search grounding, with tool_choice limited to auto per the platform reading (15 of 20). Strict structured output (15). Automatic prompt caching, cached input at 4% of the input price (15). A 1,048,576-token context, but requests over 200K input tokens bill at three times the rate for the whole request (12 of 15). No batch endpoint (0). No SDK of Meta's own; OpenAI and Anthropic SDKs against compatible endpoints (0). OpenAI-style errors with fixes and retryable codes (15). 15 + 15 + 15 + 12 + 0 + 0 + 15 = 72.\n\n### Reliability: Claude Fable 5.2 +20\n\n- Claude Fable 5.2 (60): 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. Status page at status.claude.com with component history (20). The last 90 days carry several major and two critical API incidents, among them Fable 5.1 and Mythos 5.1 on 3 September and Fable 5.1 on 23 and 25 October, so 0 for incident history. Rate limits published per model, Fable 5.x at 4,000 requests a minute at the Start tier (15). 429s with `retry-after` and SDK retries with backoff (15). No SLA on sale (0). The model page lists it as a current model with no preview label (10). 20 + 0 + 15 + 15 + 0 + 10 = 60. Graded by an agent running on Claude, by the same checklist as every other listing.\n- Muse Ember (40): Model reading, for the surface it's called on, Meta Model API. No status page with readable history, per the meta-model-api listing's 4 November check (0), so no readable incident history (5). Rate limits published per team and per model, 3,000 RPM and 4,000,000 TPM for muse-ember-1.0, read 9 November (15). 429 and 503 with Retry-After, backoff guidance and rate-limit headers, per the meta-model-api listing (15). No SLA found (0). Muse Ember carries no preview label, but the API opened as a public preview in July and no general-availability notice was found, so half, as for the platform (5). 0 + 5 + 15 + 15 + 0 + 5 = 40.\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Claude Fable 5.2 | Muse Ember | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 60 | 40 | Claude Fable 5.2 +20 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 90 | 60 | Claude Fable 5.2 +30 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 95 | 72 | Claude Fable 5.2 +23 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 92 | 64 | Claude Fable 5.2 +28 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 30 | 20 | Claude Fable 5.2 +10 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 91 | 46 | Claude Fable 5.2 +45 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 85 | 53 | Claude Fable 5.2 +32 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **77.3 · BB** | **51.8 · D** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Claude Fable 5.2 | Muse Ember |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | Model API | Model API |\n| Vendor | Anthropic | Meta |\n| Hosted endpoint | `https://api.anthropic.com/v1` | `https://api.meta.ai/v1` |\n| Transports |  |  |\n| Auth | API key | API key |\n| Pricing | Pay per use | Pay per use |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | Closed model, used through the Claude API and cloud platforms under Anthropic's Commercial Terms of Service | Closed model, used through Meta Model API and Muse Code under the Meta Model API Terms of Service (last updated 9 October 2026).

Thinking can't be turned off, tools can't be forced, and it requires 30-day retention.\n\n**Muse Ember.** A cheap, capable model for the repeated parts of agent work, at $0.10 and $0.50 per million tokens with a 1M context and Meta's figures putting it level with Claude Haiku 5.5 on fewer tokens. Launched today on an API with no readable status page, SLA or deprecation policy, and closed, with no weights.\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### Muse Ember\n\n1. Call https://api.meta.ai/v1/responses (or /chat/completions or /messages) with model muse-ember-1.0 and a bearer MODEL_API_KEY\n2. Set the effort explicitly, reasoning.effort on Responses or reasoning_effort on Chat Completions. It defaults to max, and none isn't accepted; minimal or low suits classification and routing\n3. Keep input under 200K tokens a request, cached tokens and previous_response_id history included, or the whole request bills at the long-context rate\n4. Use it for sub-agents and bounded repeated tasks, and a larger Muse model for the plan, as Meta advises\n5. Use strict structured output for extraction and routing steps\n6. In Claude Code, map the haiku alias and sub-agent model to muse-ember-1.0, per Meta's guide\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Claude Fable 5.2 or Muse Ember?\n\nClaude Fable 5.2 scores 77.3 (BB) on agent readiness against Muse Ember's 51.8 (D), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Do Claude Fable 5.2 and Muse Ember need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Claude Fable 5.2 and Muse Ember without installing anything?\n\nYes.

Anthropic 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",
