Claude Fable 5 tops CursorBench cost-efficiency

According to CursorBench benchmark results shared by BridgeMind, Anthropic's Claude Fable 5 Medium offers the best intelligence-per-dollar ratio in the AI industry, scoring 69.8% at a cost of $8.27 per task. The model outperforms Opus 4.7 Max, which scored 64.8% at a cost of $11.02, and GPT 5.5 Extra High, which scored 64.3% at $4.37.

// ANALYSIS

While OpenAI's GPT 5.5 Extra High remains the absolute budget leader for high-end reasoning, Anthropic's Claude Fable 5 Medium strikes the ultimate sweet spot, completely eclipsing the expensive Opus tier and proving that mid-tier reasoning effort configurations are the future of cost-effective AI engineering.

–**Opus is Dead:** Opus 4.7 Max is now officially obsolete, costing more than Claude Fable 5 Medium while delivering inferior performance (64.8% vs. 69.8%).
–**Sweet Spot Pricing:** Claude Fable 5 Medium costs roughly double GPT 5.5 Extra High but delivers a critical 5.5% performance boost that is essential for complex agentic workflows.
–**The Value King:** For teams running production AI agents where accuracy directly translates to saved developer hours, Claude Fable 5 Medium is currently the most optimal choice.
