US close to allowing Anthropic to restore Fable 5 model, Axios reports

Short summary

The US government is reportedly approaching permission for Anthropic to restore its most advanced AI models—Fable 5 and Mythos 5—which were abruptly disabled following export control restrictions imposed on June 12, 2026. These models represent Anthropic's latest generative AI capabilities, and their unavailability has impacted developers, businesses, and individual users relying on cutting-edge AI technology for their work. Potential approval would signal regulatory flexibility on providing advanced AI models to domestic and international users.
