Claude Fable 5.2 tops Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v5
Overview
Artificial Analysis says Anthropic's Claude Fable 5.2 ranks first on its Intelligence Index v5 with a score of 65, five points ahead of Gemini 4 Carbon at high effort.
The firm reports that Claude Fable 5.2 leads five of the nine evaluations, spanning science, knowledge and coding, including 80% on HLE-Diamond and 67 on AA-Omniscience v1.1. Its high, xhigh and max settings are its three highest-scoring entries on the index.
The firm says the gains come mainly from scientific reasoning, knowledge and FrontierCode 2.0, while agentic and terminal coding tasks roughly match Claude Opus 5.5. At max effort, the average cost per task is $26.5, about 2.6 times Opus 5.5, according to the source. At high effort, the model uses about 40% fewer output tokens than Opus 5.5 at max, and at low effort it scores 5 points above Claude Fable 5.1 at max with about 70% fewer output tokens.
