Summary
Anthropic has restored customer access to its powerful newest AI model, Fable, after a more than two-week blackout resulting from US government safety concerns that it could be abused to enable serious cyber-attacks. The San Francisco company said export controls had been lifted, citing a social media post from the US commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick, in which he said: “Over the past two weeks, we have worked closely with Anthropic to analyze and approve Fable 5 to ensure alignment across the US Government and strengthen America’s leadership in AI.” Three days after Claude Fable 5 was launched on 9 June, the US government ordered Anthropic to immediately restrict access to it and a related model, Claude Mythos 5, banning their use by foreign nationals, whether inside or outside the US.
