Export Controls Lifted: Fable 5 & Mythos 5 Returning Tomorrow (Official Anthropic Update)

The episode reports that U.S. export controls on Anthropic’s Fable 5 and Mythos 5 have been lifted, citing a tweet and Anthropic’s official June 30, 2026 announcement that access will begin being restored tomorrow (likely within 24–48 hours). It notes Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s statement about working with Anthropic over two weeks to analyze and approve Fable 5, and mentions a related comment from White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles. The host recaps the timeline: access was cut on June 16 due to flagged security concerns, reports suggested a return by late June, and the White House/Commerce/Anthropic announcements arrived rapidly on July 1. They also comment that there’s no news on GPT 5.6, argue Fable 5 is a major step up from Sonnet 5, and emphasize building resilient “agent operating systems” that can swap models and avoid workflow disruption, promoting the AI Profit Boardroom and its Agent OS, training, and coaching.
