Anthropic Restores Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 After Export Controls Lifted

Summary
Anthropic said it will start restoring access on July 2 after the Commerce Department lifted export controls on Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 following weeks of talks with the Trump administration.
The restrictions had barred foreign nationals — including many enterprise users and some Anthropic employees — from using the models over government concerns that the technology could be jailbroken.
Fable 5 had been sidelined since early June, while Mythos 5 was only recently allowed back under a narrower rollout to a pre-approved list of organizations and government departments.
The reversal eases pressure on Anthropic as it prepares for an IPO and navigates a broader dispute with Washington over a supply-chain risk designation, after OpenAI's GPT-5.6 debuted under similar limits.
