Can Claude Fable 5.2 make a video, a song or a painting by itself?
Not directly. Fable 5.2 takes text and image input and returns text. Every piece on this page was rendered from code it wrote: Blender Python rendered by Blender, Three.js or WebGL pages captured by a headless browser, Web Audio or numpy for sound, canvas stroke engines for paintings, and FFmpeg to encode the result. In a chat window you get code or an HTML page you can open; to get an MP4 you need an agent that can run commands, such as Claude Code.
Did these really come from one prompt?
Some did. The FPS level, the pelican film and the browser Minecraft clone started from one or two sentences. But one prompt rarely means one quick reply: reported run times range from about 20 minutes to 8 hours, one open-world game was built over 7 days, and several creators added follow-up messages. Other cases ran on briefs of about 6,000 to 9,400 characters. Every card says whether the text is the creator's prompt, an excerpt of it, only their one-line request, or unpublished.
How much did these cost?
As the creators reported them: $7.48 and $8.43 for the two pixel-art switches, $21 for the Stonehenge scene, $22.62 for a Swiss lake painting, $34.96 for a 2,000-line Three.js short, and about $550 for the 8-hour FPS level. A 4K Blender render on 10 rented GPUs cost $5.75 in GPU time. This kind of work is output-heavy: the pelican run wrote about 1.1M output tokens, which is about $26 of output on apimodels.app at $24 per 1M, or about $44 at Anthropic's $40 list price.
What do I need installed to make one?
An agent that can run commands (Claude Code or similar) pointed at Fable 5.2; Node.js with Playwright and FFmpeg for anything rendered in a browser; Blender 5.x for the Blender cases, plus the Blender MCP add-on for the cases that used it. A GPU helps for Cycles, but EEVEE runs on a laptop: our own starter script renders 72 frames at 1280x720 in 77 seconds on an Apple M4. Music cases use Web Audio in the browser, numpy or LilyPond.
Which effort level should I use?
Fable 5.2 defaults to high effort on the API; Claude Code and the Claude apps default to medium. Raise it for long one-shot builds where a failed run costs more than the extra tokens, and keep medium for small fixes and iterations. Creators on this page used medium, High and Extra High.
How do I run Claude Fable 5.2 through apimodels.app?
Set ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://api.apimodels.app, your apimodels.app key in ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN and ANTHROPIC_MODEL=claude-fable-5-2, and Claude Code runs on Fable 5.2; the same key works on /v1/messages and the OpenAI-compatible /v1/chat/completions. If the primary upstream errors, requests switch to a second channel automatically, and failed requests are not billed. It is billed per token: $4.80 per 1M input, $24 per 1M output and $0.12 per 1M cache reads, with no subscription.
Can I reuse these prompts and videos?
The works belong to their creators. Clips from X play straight from X's own servers, every card links to the original post, and we do not host or re-upload any of them. Published prompts are quoted with credit and a link: in full when short, excerpted when long, and never filled in when unpublished. Check the original post before using a prompt commercially. If you made one of these and want the card removed or the credit corrected, email us.
