Data engineering · Runnable debt reconciliation

One question, sent to both models. Each comparison starts a fresh response. Up to 3,000 input bytes. Ctrl / ⌘ + Enter to send.

Fable, Opus and GPT-6.1 Sol use low effort; Gemini 4 Carbon retains upstream defaults; Kimi uses direct-answer mode. Settings differ across vendors, so this short trial is not a controlled deep-reasoning benchmark.

Each response is billed separately and capped at 3,072 output tokens. Stopping may still incur charges.

Public QVeris prices checked November 11, 2026. The table preserves every published token-price tier; GPT-6.1 Sol has a second tier starting at 272,000 input tokens. No separate request fee is listed. The public catalog does not expose cache-write rates; check request-specific billing before relying on them. Live catalog

For 1,000 uncached input and 200 output tokens: cost = (input tokens × input rate + output tokens × output rate) / 1,000,000. Fable 5.2: 8.40 Credits; Gemini 4 Carbon: 2.10; GPT-6.1 Sol: 2.10; Kimi K3.1 Pro: about 2.079. This fixed-use example is not a measured bill; reasoning and longer output change usage.

Anthropic standard USD / million tokens: $8 input, $40 output, $0.20 cache read; cache writes $10 (5m) / $16 (1h). Fast mode is separately priced at $16 / $80. These vendor prices are separate from Credits; this page does not imply QVeris exposes fast mode. Official prices

Model strengths and official evaluations

Released on November 9, 2026, Claude Fable 5.2 targets difficult reasoning and extended agent work. Anthropic positions Opus 5.5 as the everyday starting point; Fable is an option when the task demands more. Official release

QVeris lists the exact model claude-fable-5-2. Its public entry supports text, images and files as input, with text output. The inline trial is text-only; it does not execute code or operate a browser.

The native model has a 1M context and 128K output limit. Adaptive thinking is always on; the native API defaults to high effort. A short page trial is not equivalent to an hours-long agent run. Model documentation

Official robotics evaluation: RoboDojo Sim

RoboDojo Sim tests whether a model can control a simulated two-arm robot from camera images. It probes visual understanding and action control together. Anthropic ran the models in the same harness at their highest available effort levels.

RoboDojo Sim average success rate: Fable 5.2 64.9%, Opus 5.5 39.4%, Gemini 4 Argon 34.2%, GPT-6 Astra 29.8%, Fable 5.1 27.6%.

RoboDojo average success rate (%) · highest score per model. Source: Anthropic official release. Open the chart to inspect the full-size original.

Fable 5.2 scores 64.9%, compared with Opus 5.5 at 39.4%, Gemini 4 Argon at 34.2%, GPT-6 Astra at 29.8%, and Fable 5.1 at 27.6%. The gaps are 25.5 percentage points versus Opus 5.5 and 37.3 points versus Fable 5.1.

The chart uses High effort for Gemini 4 Argon and Max for the other four models. These are vendor-reported simulation results, not QVeris reruns or a general real-world robot success rate. Argon and Astra are different models from the Carbon and Sol options above.

Official customer test: SQL correctness

Oracle’s Liyu Gong tested a query joining country debt summaries, repayment history and regional benchmarks. The comparison asks whether the business totals are correct, beyond whether the SQL runs.

Test report

Use these cases to choose acceptance checks: business totals for SQL, completion time and cost for agent work, visual defects for 3D output, and refusal handling for image pipelines. Complete original prompts are not available for every case.

Usage notes and FAQ

Choose two models and send the same text. Five complete tasks ask for runnable SQL with checks, an async search fix with regression tests, an interactive 3D seaplane, an auditable financial report, and a playable bedroom animation. Each includes inputs and acceptance criteria. Generated code and reports require execution or review; this page does not award automatic correctness scores for them. For the creative cases below, compare planning and code explanations here, then validate full projects in a separate execution environment.

Use the Agent comparison prompt

Click “Let an Agent compare models” at the top, then paste into your agent. The prompt includes a runnable SQL fixture and an optional 3D task, with source links, acceptance checks and cost reporting. Copying it requires no login and sends no model request. The fixtures are editorial adaptations, not the original customers’ unpublished prompts.

Is Fable always better than Opus?

No. Match the task, effort and budget. Token price alone does not predict the cost of a finished task.

How should I judge the page trial?

Check correctness before speed. Each side has a 3,072-output-token limit and no execution tools. Its results do not reproduce the original X projects.

Why can one side fail?

Availability, budget, output limits and upstream errors can differ. Preserve partial answers; an unverified model identity or incomplete response is not a zero score.

What changes in native API integration?

Adaptive thinking cannot be disabled. Omit temperature, top_p and top_k; forced tool choices any/tool are unsupported. Native documentation also specifies 30-day retention unless expressly authorized otherwise.
