Anthropic says Trump admin has lifted export controls on Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5
Summary
Anthropic's Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models, which the U.S. government had restricted from being shared with foreign nationals due to national security concerns, have been cleared for release again following negotiations with the Trump administration. Fable 5 will be available globally starting Wednesday through Claude's platforms, while Mythos 5 access has been restored for some U.S. organizations with plans to expand through Anthropic's Glasswing program (a cybersecurity initiative providing selected organizations access to advanced AI models for defensive security testing).
Solution / Mitigation
The U.S. Department of Commerce lifted the export controls on both models. According to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's letter to Anthropic (viewed by CNBC), he determined that 'appropriate safeguards' were in place to permit certain 'trusted partners' to access the model. Fable 5 will be available to global users on the Claude platform, Claude.AI, and Claude Code starting Wednesday, and will also be re-enabled on Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Foundry as soon as possible.
