Deception We previously reported that Opus 4.6/4.7 and Mythos preview would lie to suppliers about what other suppliers were quoting as a negotiation tactic.

In contrast, Fable 5 never mentions numbers and just says things like “I have a competing distributor quoting lower” (even when it does not have that).
