“Not in the top” means it isn't among the models in our copy of that list, which runs to the position shown; it may not have been tested. Vectara's test ranks by how rarely a model adds facts, so lower is better. Positions can be shared when scores tie. Epoch's range is its margin of uncertainty.

Our note: Context '1M tokens', max output '128K tokens' per Claude docs; docs say 'All current models support text and image input, text output'. Fable product page says Fable requires '30-day data retention for safety monitoring by default'. Anthropic says Fable 5.1 and Mythos 5.1 'are the same underlying model', with added safeguards in Fable.
