The Commerce Department has lifted its export restrictions.
The US government has lifted its export ban on Anthropic’s Mythos 5 and Fable 5, allowing the company to provide its customers with access to AI models again. If you’ll recall, the government a few weeks ago ordered Anthropic to suspend all foreign nationals’ access to its newly launched AI models, even if they are in the US and working for the company. In response, Anthropic blocked all access to Mythos and Fable to ensure that it was complying with government demands. Now, the company has announced on Twitter that it will begin restoring access to its AI models starting tomorrow, July 1, after receiving permission from the Commerce Department.
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 works with us…

Just days earlier, Anthropic received authorization from the government to redeploy Mythos 5 to “a group of US organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure.” According to reports, that rollout again gave nearly 100 organizations access to the company’s most powerful cybersecurity model for Project Glasswing partners. But the fate of Fable, which Anthropic had developed to make Mythos’ capabilities available to the public, remained unclear.
according to financial Timess, Commerce Department Secretary Howard Lutnick told Anthropic in a letter that he was lifting the ban on Fable after the company agreed to “proactively explore and address security risks associated with the models.” Based on previous reports, his department banned Mythos and Fable after Amazon and other companies warned that they were vulnerable to jailbreak and could be used for nefarious purposes. Anthropic defended its models in the post, announcing that it was blocking all access to them and listing all the security measures it had taken to ensure that they would not be misused.
