Fable 5 got the green light, it's on its way back!! Good news if you've been missing Claude Fable 5: the US government lifted the export restrictions on June 30, and Anthropic says it's restoring access globally starting today, July 1, across the Claude Platform, Claude.ai, Claude Code, and Claude Cowork (with AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Foundry to follow). Quick heads up so nobody's confused: the rollout is gradual. If you select Fable 5 today and still see "currently unavailable," that's the rollout catching up to your account, not the news being wrong. Give it a bit and keep checking. Short version of the saga: Fable 5 launched June 9 as the most powerful model Anthropic has ever made public, got pulled June 12 when the government imposed export controls over a safety bypass researchers found, and is back now that Anthropic added a new safeguard that blocks that technique over 99% of the time. (Mythos 5, the raw frontier version, is only being restored to approved US organizations.) So while we wait for it to land on our accounts: what's the first thing you're going to build or test with Fable 5 once it's live for you? Drop it below. Quick recap, because it's honestly a wild little story: - June 9: Anthropic released Fable 5, the first publicly available model from their Mythos frontier class, the most powerful model they've ever made generally available. It landed in Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise at no extra cost. - June 12: The US government stepped in with export controls after researchers found a way to bypass its safety guardrails. Anthropic had to abruptly shut Fable 5 (and Mythos 5) off for every customer, citing national security. - Yesterday: The Commerce Department lifted the restrictions after Anthropic trained a new safety classifier that blocks that specific jailbreak over 99% of the time. - Today, July 1: Fable 5 is available again to users globally, across the Claude Platform, Claude.ai, Claude Code, and Claude Cowork, with AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Foundry rolling out as fast as they can.
