Anthropic to Meet White House Over Fable 5 Access Ban as IPO Plans Loom

Summary
Senior Anthropic technical staff are in Washington and plan to meet White House officials next week to try to restore access to the company’s most advanced AI models, Axios reported.
The talks follow a Trump administration order requiring Anthropic to block all foreign nationals—inside and outside the U.S.—from using Fable 5 and Mythos 5, prompting the company to disable the models globally.
Virtual meetings between Anthropic and White House officials have already been underway since the administration’s initial outreach on Friday, according to the report.
Mythos 5 had already been held back from wide release over Anthropic’s own warnings about its hacking capabilities, while a public version called Fable launched earlier this week with cybersecurity safeguards.
The dispute lands as the San Francisco-based startup has confidentially filed for a U.S. IPO, raising the stakes around access to its flagship models.
