Fable 5 and Mythos 5 Disabled After U.S. Export Control Order
Anthropic disabled Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all users after a U.S. export control order. Other Claude models remain available; rate limits removed.
You wake up, open Claude, and Fable 5 no longer exists.
The U.S. government, citing national security authorities, issued an export control order requiring access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 to be suspended for any foreign nationals—both those located in the U.S. and those outside it, including Anthropic employees who are not U.S. citizens.
As a result, Anthropic had to urgently disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all users. Access to all other Claude models remains unchanged.
The company said it believes what happened was a misunderstanding and is already working to restore access as quickly as possible.
There’s also good news: the 5-hour and weekly request limits have been removed for all users.
