Workaround targets Claude Fable 5 in Claude Code
In a post on X, developer nsxdavid shares a CLI command to manually target Anthropic's newly launched Mythos-class AI model, Claude Fable 5, in Claude Code. By using the --model flag, developers can override the default model selection and start utilizing the new capabilities immediately, bypassing any automated update delays in the standard client.
Accessing newly released models via CLI arguments is a simple workaround that lets developers bypass rollout waves. Fable 5 brings next-gen capabilities, but its strict safety classifiers will fallback to Claude Opus 4.8 for sensitive tasks.
* Specifying model names directly allows immediate verification of speed and capabilities.
* The automatic fallback mechanism ensures safety without interrupting the developer's CLI session.
* High-end Mythos-class intelligence represents a major capability upgrade for autonomous coding.
