Claude Fable 5.2 lands in GitHub Copilot, solving more tasks with fewer steps

GitHub announced that Anthropic's Claude Fable 5.2 is now generally available in GitHub Copilot for Pro+, Max, Business, and Enterprise users across VS Code, Copilot CLI, the coding agent, JetBrains IDEs, Xcode, and more.
Early testing shows Fable 5.2 solves more tasks than Fable 5.1 while using fewer steps and tool calls, and completes difficult tasks earlier models missed — aimed at complex, multistep coding across large codebases.
Notably, the model requires data retention by default: Anthropic retains prompts and outputs to operate safety classifiers (not for training), with zero data retention only for certain eligible enterprise customers. Business/Enterprise admins must enable the model policy manually, and billing follows provider list pricing.
