Use Claude Fable 5.1 by voice on your desktop

Anthropic introduced Claude Fable 5.1 in September 2026 and lists it as generally available. In Cue, Claude Fable 5.1 is available to Cue Plus subscribers in the model list, so a spoken request on Mac or Windows can use it with the app or screen already in front of you as context and every result returned for your review.

What Cue adds to the model

A hotkey, your voice, and the context you allow: selected text or the visible screen in a supported app. The model returns a draft or a proposed change; you decide what happens next.

What Anthropic covers

Anthropic's own pages describe the Fable line, its availability and its safeguards. This page does not reproduce or verify Anthropic's evaluations.

What Anthropic says about Claude Fable 5.1

Anthropic positions the Claude Fable line as its next generation of intelligence for hard knowledge work and coding problems. Its September 2026 announcement introduces Claude Fable 5.1 alongside Claude Mythos 5.1, says Fable 5.1 is generally available while Mythos 5.1 is offered to approved organizations, and describes changes to price, data retention and safeguards.

Those statements are Anthropic's. Cue does not run its own benchmark of Claude Fable 5.1, and the model's behavior on your task depends on the request and the context you give it.

How to use it in Cue

Update Cue to the current version, sign in, and make sure your account has Cue Plus.
Open the model list in Cue and choose Claude Fable 5.1. Entries that need Cue Plus say so in the list. Reasoning level and speed are separate settings, so check them after you switch.
Press the Agent shortcut shown in your installed version (Fn by default on macOS, Left Alt on Windows) with the app you are working in open, and say what you need; add the selected text or the visible screen as context when the request depends on it.
Read the result before you use it. A draft, table or proposed change is yours to check, edit or discard.

Requests you can try by voice

Turn an interview into requirements

"Use the selected interview excerpt to list requirements, separating what was said from what I am inferring."

Review the visible diff

"Read the diff on screen and list the risks a reviewer should check before merging, with the lines they refer to."

Prepare a decision agenda

"From these notes, draft a 25-minute agenda that spends most of the time on the open decision and keeps missing facts as questions."

These requests are illustrative examples, not recorded Cue runs. Review every result before you use it.

What this page does not claim

No speed, accuracy or quality comparison between models is published here; Cue publishes no measured result for this model.
Choosing a model in Cue's own list is different from connecting an external agent such as Claude Code, Codex or Gemini, which have their own sign-in, permissions and billing. See voice workflows with coding agents.
A model can be visible in the list and still need a plan; the app shows the requirement, and pricing lists the public offer.
