US Government Directs Suspension of Anthropic Fable 5 and Mythos 5 Access

The United States government has invoked national security authorities to issue an export control directive targeting Anthropic's Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models. This order mandates the suspension of access for all foreign nationals, a restriction that applies both within and outside the U.S., and includes Anthropic's own foreign national employees. In response, Anthropic has confirmed that it has abruptly disabled Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all its customers to ensure immediate compliance. The company has clarified that access to its other Claude models remains unaffected. Anthropic has apologized for the disruption, stating its belief that the directive stems from a misunderstanding, and is actively working towards restoring access to the affected models.
