  "tldr": "Anthropic began the Claude 3 line in March 2024 with Opus, Sonnet and Haiku tiers, then moved the series toward hybrid reasoning, computer use, coding and autonomous agent work. Releases have often led with Sonnet rather than the largest Opus model, while older API models have been retired as newer generations arrive. In 2026, Anthropic separated its most capable work into restricted Mythos models and publicly available Fable versions with stronger safeguards; a U.S. export-control order briefly caused Anthropic to disable both Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all users before access was restored. The current Claude 5.5 family spans Opus, Sonnet and Haiku, while access to Mythos and some higher-risk uses remains controlled through verification and trusted-access programs.",
