After weeks of negotiations with the Trump administration, Anthropic is finally going to be able to bring CloudFable 5 back online. In a post on X, Anthropic said it plans to begin restoring access tomorrow.
We have received information that the Department of Commerce has lifted export controls on Cloudflare 5 and Mythos 5.
We will begin restoring access tomorrow and will share an update soon.
We’re grateful to our users for their patience and to everyone who worked with us to redeploy the models.
In early June, following the Trump administration’s Friday evening ultimatum, Anthropic sidelined the Fable 5 — its consumer-facing model built with the same underlying technology as Anthropic’s Mythos 5, but with more safeguards. Due to concerns over the potential jailbreak of the technology, the government slapped Anthropic with an export control directive, preventing any foreign nationals (including non-US members of enterprise client companies, and even many of Anthropic’s employees) from using the Mythos 5 or Fable 5, that is, both models that Anthropic had spent the past week promoting.
The Trump administration recently greenlighted the return of Mythos 5, but only to a pre-approved list of organizations. Non-US members of those organizations, as well as Anthropic’s own foreign national employees, are now allowed to access the models. The decision came shortly after OpenAI unveiled GPT-5.6, which the Trump administration had only given permission to launch under similar rules: an orderly rollout, initially only to a pre-approved list of organizations and government departments.
The initial export control directive by the Trump administration came at an inopportune time for Anthropic, as it is preparing for an IPO and has been feuding with the government for months over supply chain risk designation.
