The Trump administration is reportedly nearing an agreement to permit Anthropic to restore access to its Fable 5 artificial intelligence model, according to sources familiar with the matter. Anthropic had disabled its most advanced AI systems, including Mythos 5 and Fable 5, following a U.S. government export control order issued on June 12.

The restrictions had halted public access to Fable 5 and limited deployment of Mythos 5 due to national security concerns. While Mythos 5 has been made available to select trusted U.S. organizations, public access to Fable 5 remains suspended. However, discussions between Anthropic and government officials are ongoing, with expectations the limits on Fable 5 could be lifted as early as next week.

Both models utilize the same foundational AI technology, though Mythos 5 includes features and mitigations tailored for restricted use, whereas Fable 5 is designed for broader public availability. Anthropic has expressed optimism about restoring Fable 5 access soon, though specific timelines have not been disclosed.

Requests for comment from Anthropic and the White House were not immediately returned. The administration’s export controls reflect ongoing efforts to balance technological innovation with national security considerations in the rapidly evolving AI sector.
