Updated November 5, 2026. Rank says Claude Fable 5.1 is ahead. Price, access, and your workload can each overturn that. Public scores include evidence status and uncertainty.
Claude Fable 5.1 has the higher public point estimate, 81.23 versus 57.27. Their conditional score ranges do not overlap. These ranges do not establish rank confidence. 6 results are shared. Category rows resting on Estimated evidence or different benchmark sets are marked directional and do not name a winner.
Recommendations appear only when a shared evidence basis or an explicit operating constraint supports the call. Secondary and unsupported use cases stay disclosed below the initial list.

Tool use, computer use, and multi-step task completion
Not enough matched evidence
MiMo-V2.6-Pro is scored on Estimated evidence for agentic, so the reading is directional rather than like-for-like.

No clear pick
The documented context windows are equal.
Choose a job from the LLM Selector's task catalog to see the category row it rests on, under the same basis rules as the table below. A directional row stays directional; choosing a job never creates a winner.
The same task catalog as the LLM Selector. Each job names the evidence surface it rests on; nothing here adds a new score.
Like-for-like · BenchAlign v5.8
Claude Fable 5.1 has the higher coding point estimate. Conditional score ranges do not establish rank confidence.
Coding scores combine specific tasks and setups. Match the editor, harness, and effort to your workflow.
Shared results can support a head-to-head reading. Results present for only one model describe coverage, not superiority.
1 category rests on Estimated evidence or different evidence sets. Those rows remain visible for coverage context but do not name a winner.
Only shared public evidence is shown. Sparse evidence stays a ruled list rather than being closed into a radar shape.
Too few matched category axes support a radar. The ruled list below shows only shared benchmark results; positions use each benchmark’s normalized display scale when available.
AutomationBenchAgentic
Normalized gap 21.7Each row shows the public-lane category score for both models: the BenchAlign v5.8 lane for agentic, coding, and knowledge, and the weighted public rows elsewhere, with the same rank each model page reports. A row is like-for-like only when both scores rest on Supported evidence or the same weighted set. Directional and not-comparable rows remain visible, but they never receive a winner.

Ranks count the models scored in each category’s lane, so the agentic, coding, and knowledge denominators (BenchAlign v5.8) differ from the provisional-lane categories. Unranked scores sit on the provisional lane’s scale but never name a winner. Like-for-like rows within 0.5 points read as a practical tie.
Three fixed token mixes turn per-token rates into comparable decisions. Each scenario states context fit and whether cached input had to fall back to the published list-input rate.

Claude Fable 5.1 has the higher public point estimate, 81.23 versus 57.27. Their conditional score ranges do not overlap. These ranges do not establish rank confidence. The page therefore keeps the decision tied to the specific documented workload.
Claude Fable 5.1 has the higher public coding point estimate, 76.2 to 57.1, with Supported evidence for both models. The conditional ranges do not establish rank confidence.
Claude Fable 5.1 scores higher for agentic tasks on the public lane, 80.6 to 56.6. MiMo-V2.6-Pro is scored on Estimated evidence for agentic tasks, so the reading is directional rather than like-for-like. BenchLM does not name a winner for agentic tasks from a directional reading; read the shared benchmark rows directly and test the models on the same task set.
For the stated presets, chat costs $0.035 on Claude Fable 5.1 and $0.00087 on MiMo-V2.6-Pro; repository review costs $0.65 and $0.02436; the cache-heavy agent loop costs $0.75 and $0.01812. Costs use the listed standard API rates.
Both models list the same context window, 1M.
