US Commerce Dept Hits Anthropic's Fable 5, Mythos 5 With Export Curbs; Firm Pulls Both

The US Commerce Department issued an export control directive on June 13 barring foreign nationals from accessing Anthropic's Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models, prompting the company to disable both for all users to comply. The administration cited a national security threat and what it called Anthropic's recklessness, while Anthropic countered that the order was based on a misunderstanding.
