Responds to US Government Directive Suspending Access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5
Anthropic issued an official response to a US government export control directive requiring the immediate suspension of all access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models for foreign nationals and customers. The government cited national security concerns over potential safeguard bypasses, which Anthropic clarified are narrow, non-universal jailbreaks with capabilities already widely available in other models. This geopolitical policy shift treats nationality as a hard boundary for model access, as discussed by industry observers, highlighting Europe's technological dependence. Access to all other Anthropic models remains unaffected. (source: https://www.anthropic.com/news/fable-mythos-access)
