Anthropic asks Commerce to lift Fable and Mythos export ban
Technology
Anthropic is trying to get a US export ban on its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models lifted.
The Commerce Department blocked foreign nationals from using these models back in Friday, June 12, 2026, due to security worries, so Anthropic had to cut off access for all its customers, including US citizens.
Anthropic calls access shutdown a misunderstanding
Anthropic says it only got 90 minutes' notice before shutting down access and wasn't told about any threats beforehand, calling the whole thing a "misunderstanding" over possible security risks.
