The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

In China, AI is becoming more than a production tool.
It is becoming an operating system for media and entertainment.
A real-time feedback engine that detects demand, creates faster, distributes smarter, monetizes earlier, and learns continuously.
At KIN, we track these signals before they become obvious.

Claude Fable 5 looks like Anthropic’s Mythos-level model with guardrails — insane benchmarks, strong coding, vision, and agentic reasoning.
But the real question: is it worth the cost and usage limits?
I break down the pros, cons, and whether you should switch.
Claude Fable 5 just turned a poem into a playable physics game using loop syntax, and the results are wild.
It Quality Checked itself, fixed failures, passed 11/11 checks, and showed what the future of AI coding could look like.
Watch the full breakdown now and see why loops may replace prompt engineering (@claudeai)

Claude Fable 5 might be @AnthropicAI's most powerful coding model yet.
Mythos-level intelligence, insane benchmarks, strong vision, and wild Cursor results.
But is it worth the cost?
I tested it with real coding projects, loop syntax, and budget tracking.
How I built with Claude 👇
1. Prompt: "Build a storytelling website where each scroll section reveals a new chapter with fluid color transitions"
2. Use Three.js for the painted texture background that reacts to cursor
3. Prompt: "Add GSAP ScrollTrigger so each section animates in as a cinematic scene"
4. Use Lenis.js for that buttery smooth scroll that premium sites have
I view the AI space as having a fog of war - we have no idea of what FUTURE AI models are capable of and what they are weak at - and yet we have to build systems and flows for it. Fable 5 lifted a huge section of this fog - it’s a leap forward but still deeply flawed if you don’t use it properly. Loops and goals are key to getting to work properly
Claude Fable 5 changed how we work on the Claude Code team day to day.
We used to verify that Claude did the work right. Now we verify that it's doing the right work.
Here’s the 3 biggest changes:
Anthropic and OpenAI are both telling engineers to write loops.
Not prompts.
Not agents.
Loops.
That is not a coincidence.
When the two most important AI labs on the planet independently converge on the same pattern — that is a signal worth paying attention to.
Most engineers are still thinking in terms of single calls.
Input → model → output.
The engineers winning in 2026 think in cycles.
Output becomes input. The model evaluates its own work. The loop runs until the result is right.
This is the complete breakdown of what loops are, why they matter, and how to build them ↓
Fable 5 is state-of-the-art on nearly all tested benchmarks, with exceptional performance in software engineering, knowledge work, scientific research, and vision.
The longer and more complex the task, the larger Fable 5’s lead over our other models.

Since the desktop app is early, i havent seen a ton of guides around it. @tonbistudio@AlexFinn@boxmining all have great video series about Hermes though
