On 12 June the US government issued an export control directive requiring Anthropic to suspend access to Fable 5 (and Mythos 5) for all customers, so it's currently switched off across Chat Thing along with everywhere else. Every other model, **Opus 4.8** included, is unaffected. Anthropic believe it's a misunderstanding and are [working to restore access](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.anthropic.com\u002Fnews\u002Ffable-mythos-access); we'll switch it back on the moment they do.\n\nAnthropic just shipped Claude Fable 5, their most capable model yet, and it's live on Chat Thing today. It's a proper step up, and it arrives with a wave of other new models and a rebuilt model picker to help you choose between them.\n\n### Claude Fable 5: the new most-capable model\n\nFable 5 is the most capable model Anthropic have released. It's built for the demanding stuff, long multi-step agentic work and proper hard reasoning, the kind of task that used to fall over halfway through. It's got a 1 million token context window, so it can hold a huge amount of your data in mind at once, and it has a good think before it answers.\n\nIf you've got a bot where getting the answer exactly right matters more than getting it cheap, this is the one to point it at.\n\nOne thing we'd rather you heard from us, though. **Fable is expensive, and it gets through tokens quickly.** It costs roughly twice as much per message as Claude Opus 4.8 (our next model down) and many times more than the everyday models. That power is brilliant when you genuinely need it, but it'll chew through your token allowance much faster, so it's worth keeping Fable for the jobs that really call for it and using a lighter model for routine chat. The new picker shows you exactly how each model is priced, so there shouldn't be any surprises.\n\n### The rest of the new line-up\n\nFable 5 is the headline, but it's not arriving alone. We've added the latest from across the board, all live now:\n\n- **Claude Opus 4.8** (plus a Fast variant) - Anthropic's most capable Opus model, highly autonomous and great at long agentic runs and holding context across a whole task\n- **GPT-5.5** and **GPT-5.5 Pro** from OpenAI, both with a 1M-plus context\n- **Gemini 3.5 Flash** from Google - fast, cheap, 1M context, a lovely default for high-volume bots\n- **Grok 4.3** from xAI, with a 1M context and keen pricing\n- **Mistral Medium 3.5**, a strong, well-priced all-rounder\n- **Kimi K2.6**, **GLM 5.1**, and **DeepSeek V4 Pro** - the last of those is great value if cost is a concern, with a 1M context for a fraction of the price\n\n### A model picker that actually helps you choose\n\nThe old selector was a single dropdown, a long flat list of names. Fine with a handful of models, but we're well past a handful now, and a flat list tells you nothing about which one to pick. You couldn't see what a model cost, how big its context was, or whether it could handle images, without choosing it and finding out.\n\nSo we rebuilt it. Open your agent settings, click the model, and a proper picker opens in place. You can browse by provider down the side (with a live count of how many each one has), search by name, and filter by what you actually need, whether that's Vision, Tools or Reasoning. Every card shows the input and output cost, the context size and a simple **Low \u002F Medium \u002F High** badge, so you can weigh a cheap, fast model against a premium one before you commit. It's also where you'll see at a glance just how pricey Fable is next to the rest. And we float our recommended models to the top, so there's always a sensible default if you'd rather not think about it.\n\n### Who gets it\n\nModel selection is available on our **Standard, Pro and Enterprise** plans. If you're on Free or Basic your bots run on our default model and you won't see the picker, so it's worth a look at the plans if you'd like the freedom to choose.\n\nThat's the lot: a stack of new models with the best Anthropic have ever made sitting at the top, and a picker built to help you choose wisely (and keep an eye on the bill). Open an eligible agent, click the model, and take Fable 5 for a spin.\n","Claude Fable 5, the most capable model Anthropic have made, is live on Chat Thing, along with a stack of other new models and a rebuilt picker. A heads-up on what Fable costs, and which plans get to choose.","changelog","claude-fable-5-opus-4-8-and-a-new-model-picker","2026-06-12T15:25:31.101Z","2026-06-13T06:33:03.679Z","2026-06-13T06:33:03.772Z",3,"kazc0aftqotav494ln4rz12u",{"id":18,"name":19,"alternativeText":20,"caption":21,"width":22,"height":23,"formats":24,"hash":64,"ext":26,"mime":29,"size":65,"url":66,"previewUrl":21,"provider":67,"provider_metadata":68,"createdAt":69,"updatedAt":70,"documentId":71,"publishedAt":72,"focalPoint":21},850,"new-models-blog-post-og-image.jpg","new-models-blog-post-og-image",null,1200,630,{"large":25,"small":37,"medium":46,"thumbnail":55},{"ext":26,"url":27,"hash":28,"mime":29,"name":30,"path":21,"size":31,"width":32,"height":33,"sizeInBytes":34,"provider_metadata":35},".jpg","https:\u002F\u002Fres.cloudinary.com\u002Fdjyjvrw5u\u002Fimage\u002Fupload\u002Fv1781277929\u002Flarge_new_models_blog_post_og_image_60c61ed10a.jpg","large_new_models_blog_post_og_image_60c61ed10a","image\u002Fjpeg","large_new-models-blog-post-og-image.jpg",56.29,1000,525,56288,{"public_id":28,"resource_type":36},"image",{"ext":26,"url":38,"hash":39,"mime":29,"name":40,"path":21,"size":41,"width":42,"height":43,"sizeInBytes":44,"provider_metadata":45},"https:\u002F\u002Fres.cloudinary.com\u002Fdjyjvrw5u\u002Fimage\u002Fupload\u002Fv1781277929\u002Fsmall_new_models_blog_post_og_image_60c61ed10a.jpg","small_new_models_blog_post_og_image_60c61ed10a","small_new-models-blog-post-og-image.jpg",19.19,500,263,19194,{"public_id":39,"resource_type":36},{"ext":26,"url":47,"hash":48,"mime":29,"name":49,"path":21,"size":50,"width":51,"height":52,"sizeInBytes":53,"provider_metadata":54},"https:\u002F\u002Fres.cloudinary.com\u002Fdjyjvrw5u\u002Fimage\u002Fupload\u002Fv1781277929\u002Fmedium_new_models_blog_post_og_image_60c61ed10a.jpg","medium_new_models_blog_post_og_image_60c61ed10a","medium_new-models-blog-post-og-image.jpg",35.38,750,394,35377,{"public_id":48,"resource_type":36},{"ext":26,"url":56,"hash":57,"mime":29,"name":58,"path":21,"size":59,"width":60,"height":61,"sizeInBytes":62,"provider_metadata":63},"https:\u002F\u002Fres.cloudinary.com\u002Fdjyjvrw5u\u002Fimage\u002Fupload\u002Fv1781277929\u002Fthumbnail_new_models_blog_post_og_image_60c61ed10a.jpg","thumbnail_new_models_blog_post_og_image_60c61ed10a","thumbnail_new-models-blog-post-og-image.jpg",6.11,245,129,6114,{"public_id":57,"resource_type":36},"new_models_blog_post_og_image_60c61ed10a",75.88,"https:\u002F\u002Fres.cloudinary.com\u002Fdjyjvrw5u\u002Fimage\u002Fupload\u002Fv1781277929\u002Fnew_models_blog_post_og_image_60c61ed10a.jpg","cloudinary",{"public_id":64,"resource_type":36},"2026-06-12T15:25:30.824Z","2026-06-12T15:47:20.642Z","r0nmm1tmwkdgjv0cpzkrqm6f","2026-06-12T15:25:30.825Z",{"id":74,"Name":75,"createdAt":76,"updatedAt":77,"publishedAt":78,"documentId":79,"Image":80},11,"Chris","2024-09-26T14:45:01.162Z","2026-05-19T11:51:46.202Z","2026-05-19T11:51:46.263Z","lm3bpo0a4f8dlhl99y0bztzn",{"id":81,"name":82,"alternativeText":21,"caption":21,"width":83,"height":83,"formats":84,"hash":102,"ext":86,"mime":89,"size":103,"url":104,"previewUrl":21,"provider":67,"provider_metadata":105,"createdAt":106,"updatedAt":106,"documentId":107,"publishedAt":106,"focalPoint":21},841,"avatar.png",512,{"small":85,"thumbnail":94},{"ext":86,"url":87,"hash":88,"mime":89,"name":90,"path":21,"size":91,"width":42,"height":42,"sizeInBytes":92,"provider_metadata":93},".png","https:\u002F\u002Fres.cloudinary.com\u002Fdjyjvrw5u\u002Fimage\u002Fupload\u002Fv1779191498\u002Fsmall_avatar_d040acbf49.png","small_avatar_d040acbf49","image\u002Fpng","small_avatar.png",243.02,243024,{"public_id":88,"resource_type":36},{"ext":86,"url":95,"hash":96,"mime":89,"name":97,"path":21,"size":98,"width":99,"height":99,"sizeInBytes":100,"provider_metadata":101},"https:\u002F\u002Fres.cloudinary.com\u002Fdjyjvrw5u\u002Fimage\u002Fupload\u002Fv1779191498\u002Fthumbnail_avatar_d040acbf49.png","thumbnail_avatar_d040acbf49","thumbnail_avatar.png",33.15,156,33147,{"public_id":96,"resource_type":36},"avatar_d040acbf49",66.53,"https:\u002F\u002Fres.cloudinary.com\u002Fdjyjvrw5u\u002Fimage\u002Fupload\u002Fv1779191498\u002Favatar_d040acbf49.png",{"public_id":102,"resource_type":36},"2026-05-19T11:51:38.933Z","gg7jrmstvpwjzszr0gtzrhnk",{"id":109,"metaTitle":110,"metaDescription":111,"keywords":21,"metaRobots":21,"structuredData":21,"metaViewport":21,"canonicalURL":21,"metaImage":112},315,"Claude

Domains: Your Bot, Your Brand, Your Domain","Your bots just got a whole lot more professional. We're excited to announce **Custom Domains** — a feature that lets you serve your Chat Thing bots from your very own domain.\n\nInstead of embedding your bot from `embed.chatthing.ai`, you can now use something like `chat.yourcompany.com` or `support.yourbrand.io`. It's fully white-labelled, SSL-secured, and takes just a few minutes to set up.\n\n## Why Custom Domains?\n\nWhen you embed a Chat Thing bot on your website, your users see our domain in the embed URL. For most use cases that's fine, but if you're building a product, running an agency, or just want that extra polish — having your own domain makes all the difference.\n\n**Benefits include:**\n\n- **Brand consistency** — Your bot lives on your domain, matching the rest of your site\n- **Trust signals** — Users see your domain, not a third party\n- **Professional appearance** — Perfect for client-facing bots and enterprise deployments\n- **Full SSL coverage** — We handle certificates automatically via Cloudflare\n\n## How It Works\n\nSetting up a custom domain is straightforward:\n\n1. **Add your domain** — Head to your bot's Web channel settings and enter your desired domain (e.g., `chat.yourcompany.com`)\n2. **Configure DNS** — We'll generate three DNS records for you to add:\n   - A TXT record for SSL certificate validation\n   - A TXT record to verify domain ownership\n   - A CNAME record pointing to `embed.chatthing.ai`\n3. **Verify and go live** — Click verify, wait for DNS propagation, and you're done!\n\n![Custom domains section](https:\u002F\u002Fres.cloudinary.com\u002Fdjyjvrw5u\u002Fimage\u002Fupload\u002Fv1770654691\u002Fdocs\u002Fmzhljvoxddzbh2rqbbqd.png)\n\nOnce active, your embed codes automatically update to use your custom domain. No code changes needed.\n\n![Custom domain active with embed code](https:\u002F\u002Fres.cloudinary.com\u002Fdjyjvrw5u\u002Fimage\u002Fupload\u002Fv1770654295\u002Fdocs\u002Flribfkrjyalvghfyo4ed.png)\n\n## Domain Status Flow\n\nYour domain will progress through these statuses:\n\n- **Pending** — Domain added, awaiting setup\n- **DNS Pending** — Records detected, SSL certificate being issued\n- **Active** — Fully configured and ready to use ✅\n- **Failed** — Check your DNS records and try again\n\n## Availability\n\nCustom Domains is available as a paid addon. Each addon provides one custom domain slot across your team. You can purchase additional slots from your [billing page](https:\u002F\u002Fchatthing.ai\u002Fapp\u002Fbilling) if you need multiple domains.\n\n## Get Started\n\nReady to give your bots a professional home?

in Chat Thing: Dictation, Spoken Responses, Spam Protection, Bot Duplication & More!","We've been hard at work shipping some highly-requested features to help you build even better AI agents. Here’s a look at what’s new:\n\n### 🗣️ Dictation & Spoken Responses\n\nFrankly, we're a little embarrassed this one took so long, but we're thrilled to finally release Dictation and Spoken Responses for the web channel! Your users can now interact with your bots using just their voice for a more natural and accessible experience.\n\nAnd this is just the beginning—soon, you’ll be able to customise the voice to perfectly match your brand.\n\nLearn how to enable it in the [Web Channel Documentation](https:\u002F\u002Fchatthing.ai\u002Fdocs\u002Fweb-channel#dictation-and-spoken-responses).\n\n![Xnapper-2025-07-30-20.00.42.png](https:\u002F\u002Fres.cloudinary.com\u002Fdjyjvrw5u\u002Fimage\u002Fupload\u002Fv1753902103\u002FXnapper_2025_07_30_20_00_42_d3a9b00e2d.png)\n\n### 🛡️ Spam Protection\n\nProtect your public-facing bots from abuse with our new Spam Protection feature. Powered by Cloudflare Turnstile, it provides a seamless, privacy-preserving way to block automated spam without forcing your users to solve annoying CAPTCHAs. You can activate it from your web channel settings.\n\nCheck out the [Spam Protection Documentation](https:\u002F\u002Fchatthing.ai\u002Fdocs\u002Fweb-channel#spam-protection) to get started.\n\n![Cloudflare turnstile spam protection](https:\u002F\u002Fres.cloudinary.com\u002Fdjyjvrw5u\u002Fimage\u002Fupload\u002Fv1753965261\u002FCloudflare_turnstile_spam_protection_f03ff305b8.png)\n\n### 💬 \"Talk to a human\" Power-up Update\n\nWe've made our \"Talk to a human\" power-up more flexible. You can now specify exactly which email address you want escalations to be forwarded to, directly within the power-up settings.\n\nFind out more in the[ Talk to a human Docs](https:\u002F\u002Fchatthing.ai\u002Fdocs\u002Ftalk-to-a-human).\n\n### ✨ Duplicate your Bots\n\nSpeed up your workflow with bot duplication! You can now create a copy of any existing bot, with full control to choose what you want to include—from data sources and prompts to channel settings and power-ups.\n\nLearn how in the [Duplicating Bots Documentation](https:\u002F\u002Fchatthing.ai\u002Fdocs\u002Fduplicating-bots).\n\n### Advanced: New Dynamic Prompt Tags\n\nFor our advanced users, you can now include two new replacement tags in your prompts that will be replaced dynamically at runtime: \u003Cbot-id> and \u003Cconversation-id>. This allows for more advanced logging, tracking, and multi-agent workflows.\n\n---\n\nWe can’t wait to see what you think of these updates, happy agent building","Announcing new Chat Thing features:

work you don't see (and why it makes Chat Thing better)","Most of our blog posts are about shiny new things you can click on. This one's a bit different.. it's about the stuff happening quietly in the background that you'll never actually see. Stick with me though, because it matters more than you'd think.\n\nThis month we rebuilt the engine room of Chat Thing. Not the bit you log into, but the part doing all the heavy lifting behind the scenes.. crawling your website, syncing your content from Notion, Google Drive and the rest, generating your analytics, sending your emails, running your agents' tasks. All of that runs on a separate system, and we tore it down and rebuilt it from scratch.\n\nI know, \"we rebuilt some backend plumbing\" isn't exactly a thrilling headline! But here's what it actually means for you.\n\n## Faster, in the way that counts\n\nThe honest truth is that the old system was built on different foundations to the rest of Chat Thing. It worked fine, but it meant our team had to juggle two completely different ways of doing things every time we wanted to improve anything back there.\n\nNow it all speaks the same language. Which means **we can ship improvements to crawling, syncing and analytics far quicker than before**. When you're waiting on us to make something better, that speed is the difference between \"next week\" and \"next month\".\n\n## Safer with your data\n\nThis is the one I care most about, and it's worth a minute of your time.\n\nEvery modern app is built on top of hundreds of little bits of code written by other people. It's how software works, nobody builds everything from scratch. But every one of those bits is something you're trusting, and occasionally one of them gets tampered with by someone with bad intentions. It's called a supply chain attack, and it's one of the biggest security risks going right now.\n\nSo while we were in there, we did two things. We **cut the amount of third party code this system relies on by nearly 40%** (fewer moving parts, fewer things that can go wrong). And we turned on a much stricter set of rules for the code we do use.. including a deliberate cooling off period so we never automatically pull in brand new code before the wider security community has had a chance to vet it.\n\nIn plain English: there are now fewer doors, and the ones that remain have much better locks. Your data, and your customers' data, sits behind them.\n\n## More reliable, full stop\n\nFewer moving parts means fewer things that can break at 2am. We also did the whole switch over carefully, running the old and new systems side by side and checking they behaved identically before flipping the switch, with a one button rollback the whole time. No drama, no downtime, nothing for you to do.\n\nAnyway! Your agents are crawling, syncing and replying exactly as they were before. Nothing's changed on your end. But the thing underneath is now faster for us to improve, leaner, and a good bit harder to attack.\n\nThe unglamorous work is usually the work that keeps everything else standing up.. and we're more than happy to keep doing it. :)","This month we rebuilt the engine room of Chat Thing.
