AI Model Comparison
Side-by-side comparison of pricing, context window, benchmarks, capabilities, and license. Every figure comes from the developer's own pages, last checked on ; each model's page lists its sources. A figure we could not source shows as a dash.
Model A — Anthropic
Claude Fable 5.2 is Anthropic's current Fable model, released on November 9, 2026, for demanding reasoning and long-horizon agentic work, at lower prices than Claude Fable 5.1. It takes text and image input, returns text, uses adaptive thinking that is always on, and has a June 2026 reliable knowledge cutoff.
Model B — Google DeepMind
Gemini 4 Carbon is a Google model, available to paying developers in the Gemini API from November 10, 2026, which Google describes as its frontier model for long-horizon agentic work and its strongest in cybersecurity. Based on Gemini 4 Argon, it takes text, image, audio and video input, returns text, and has a March 2026 knowledge cutoff.

Bold green values indicate the winner on that dimension where comparison is meaningful (lower price wins; bigger context wins; more open license wins; newer date wins). Prices are the ones each developer lists today; a model it no longer prices has none.
