Fable 5 Is Coming Back Tomorrow: Export Controls Lifted, Global Access Returns (Plus New Safeguards)

Anthropic announced that Claude Fable 5 will be redeployed globally starting July 1 after U.S. export controls imposed June 12 shut down access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for everyone due to immediate compliance needs. The controls were lifted June 30, with Fable 5 returning across Claude Platform, Claude AI, Claude Code, and Claude Cowork for Pro, Max, Team, and select Enterprise plans, included for up to 50% of weekly usage limits before shifting to paid usage credits after July 7. Mythos 5 access is being restored only to certain U.S. organizations via Project Glasswing following June 26 approval. The shutdown followed a report that Amazon researchers found a method to bypass Fable 5 safeguards; Anthropic says the bypass is now blocked in over 99% of cases and that U.S. Commerce testing agreed the new safeguards are extraordinarily strong, alongside plans for deeper government collaboration and pre-release evaluations.
