Anthropic Said Friday it Took Its Latest AI Models Offline to Comply with Export Controls
Fable 5 and Mythos 5 offline as company complied with a directive from the Trump administration to prevent tool's use by foreign nationals.
WASHINGTON, June 12, 2026 (AP) — AI giant Anthropic said Friday it has taken its latest artificial intelligence models, known as Fable 5 and Mythos 5, offline to comply with a directive from the Trump administration to prevent their use by foreign nationals.
The export controls mark the U.S. government’s most significant step to date to restrict access to the most advanced AI models. Anthropic released Fable widely this week. That model is a limited version of the even more advanced Mythos, to which the company has tightly limited access due to cybersecurity fears.
