tags. We must preserve the HTML structure. We need to translate naturally, keep proper nouns (Anthropic, Claude Fable 5.1, etc.) as is. Also, we need to translate the meta description.
We'll produce JSON with keys: title, content, meta.description.
Let's translate.
Title: "Anthropic Launches Claude Fable 5.1, Names Three Chinese Labs in Distillation Crackdown" -> "Anthropic lance Claude Fable 5.1 et nomme trois laboratoires chinois dans une répression contre la distillation" (or similar). We'll keep "Anthropic" as is. "Launches" -> "lance", "Names" -> "nomme", "Three Chinese Labs" -> "trois laboratoires chinois", "Distillation Crackdown" -> "répression contre la distillation" or "crackdown" could be "coup de filet" but "répression" is fine.
Content: We'll translate each paragraph and heading.
Let's do it step by step.
Original content:
Anthropic shipped Claude Fable 5.1 on Tuesday, its newest flagship for coding and knowledge work, alongside a restricted sibling called Mythos 5.1. The release also tightens the screws on model copying: new developer accounts can no longer edit Claude's prior context in a multi-turn conversation while keeping the transcript of its thinking intact.
The benchmark jump
Anthropic says Fable 5.1 scored 52.6% on Terminal-Bench-Science 0.1, more than double Fable 5's 24.7%. On Terminal-Bench 4.0 it hit 55.8%, ahead of Opus 5's 52.3% and OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol at 37.3%. Business workflow scores on AutomationBench nearly doubled to 31.4%.
The knowledge cutoff moved to June 2026, five months later than Fable 5. That means the model has fresher information to draw on, which matters for coding tasks that depend on recent library changes and API updates.
What it costs
Pricing stays at $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens. Cache reads drop 75% to $0.25 per million. Anthropic claims typical workloads run 25% cheaper and complex agent tasks up to 45% cheaper with Fable 5.1.
Both models went live across Anthropic's platform, Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Foundry. So the cheaper cache pricing applies everywhere those services are offered.
The distillation fight
Anthropic says it traced over 16 million Claude exchanges to distillation campaigns run through roughly 24,000 fake accounts. It named three Chinese labs — DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax — as responsible. Moonshot alone accounted for 3.4 million exchanges.
White House science adviser Michael Kratsios accused Moonshot of copying Anthropic's flagship model to build its Kimi K3 system. Moonshot has not publicly responded.
Distillation is the practice of using one model's outputs to train another. It's not new, but the scale here is striking. Sixteen million exchanges is a lot of raw material for a rival to work with.
Who the new rule hits
The anti-distillation restriction applies only to accounts opened on or after August 31. Older accounts remain exempt, and Claude Code, Cowork, and Claude.ai users are unaffected. Anthropic says every account will face the check on future models.
That grandfathering is a deliberate choice. It keeps existing paying customers happy while closing the door on new accounts that might be set up for copying. Whether it actually slows distillation is another question — determined teams can still use older accounts or other routes.
Fable 5.1 won't retire before September 1, 2027, so developers have a long runway. The open question is whether Moonshot responds to Kratsios' accusation, and whether the new check holds up when the next model ships.
