Latest update (11-09 14:13): ARC Prize publishes full Claude Fable 5.2 benchmark results

Overview: ARC Prize reports that Anthropic's Claude Fable 5.2 scored 65.7% on ARC-AGI-3 at max reasoning effort and 81.2% at xhigh. ARC Prize says 28 of 55 semi-private games hit the 12-hour runtime limit, and it expects max would have scored higher without that cap. It also says the released model uses different tuning at medium and xhigh than the earlier checkpoint it evaluated.

In a separate post, ARC Prize reports verified results for Fable 5.2 at 97.7% on ARC-AGI-3 at $18.6K with the provider adapter harness, and 81.2% at $21.9K with the standard harness. It says Fable 5.2 sets a new high score on ARC-AGI-3 in the standard harness. It reports 93.8% on ARC-AGI-2 at $0.98 per task and 98.5% on ARC-AGI-1 at $0.36 per task.

ARC Prize says Fable 5.2's 93.8% on ARC-AGI-2 is the third-highest model score it has recorded, behind GPT-6 Astra at 95.0% and GPT-6.1 Sol at 94.2%. The full results and evaluation repository are posted on its leaderboard.
