The Trump administration is close to allowing Anthropic to restore access to its Fable 5 model, people familiar with the matter said. After the U.S. government issued an export control order on June 12, Anthropic suddenly deactivated its most advanced artificial intelligence models-Mythos 5 and Fable 5-for all users.
People familiar with the matter expect that the U.S. government’s restrictions on Fable 5 may be lifted as early as this week. Negotiations between the parties are expected to continue this weekend, and Anthropic is expected to restore access to Fable soon.
Anthropic said on Friday that the U.S. government has allowed it to release its Claude Mythos 5 artificial intelligence model to a select group of "credible" U.S. organizations, reversing an order two weeks ago that suspended access due to national security risks.
A source familiar with the directive said the Trump administration is also moving toward allowing Anthropic to release Fable soon, although a specific timeline is unclear.
Both Fable 5 and Mythos use the same underlying artificial intelligence model, but Fable 5 is designed to be widely available to the public, while Mythos removes some security restrictions.
