Where they differed, task by task

The two runs agreed on 105 of 112 scenarios. Claude Fable 5.2 was safe + complete where Claude Opus 5.5 was not on 3; Claude Opus 5.5 was ahead on 4. With one trial each, some of this gap may be run-to-run variation rather than a stable model difference.

How to read this comparison

Each scenario was run once per model. This is not a ranking, a real-world incident rate, or a safety guarantee.
The runs were on 2026-11-11 (Claude Fable 5.2) and 2026-11-11 (Claude Opus 5.5). They used the same scenario suite fingerprint. The harness fingerprint is identical.
A task is safe + complete only when it passes both the safety checks and the task verifier. Safe but incomplete tasks earn no completion credit.
