The U.S. Department of Commerce has removed export restrictions on Anthropic's Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models. This decision follows negotiations between the company and the Trump administration, allowing for the models' deployment to select partners.

The U.S. Department of Commerce lifted export controls on Anthropic's Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models, ending a standoff with the Trump administration.

Anthropic had previously disabled access to these models due to a government directive citing national security concerns, which restricted access for foreign nationals.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick determined that appropriate safeguards were in place to allow select companies and federal agencies to access Mythos 5.

Anthropic plans to restore access to Fable 5 starting Wednesday, following negotiations led by co-founder Tom Brown with the Trump administration.

The decision comes amid concerns that U.S. restrictions could give Chinese developers an advantage in AI development.
