The biggest irony is that by banning Fable / Mythos, the US govt has caused everyone to root for open source, and China is a leader in open source AI.
The most dangerous model will soon be widely distributed, just not by a US company.
Giant victory for China, massive setback for the users.
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.
