Anthropic reinstated Fable 5 globally except for sanctioned countries after the White House eased an export-control order. The deal requires real-time monitoring of the model's output for potential weapons-design queries.

Anthropic restored access to Fable 5, its flagship public AI model, after a weeks-long standoff with the Trump administration over export controls, the company said Wednesday.
The dispute began in early June when the White House, citing national security concerns around advanced AI capabilities, ordered Anthropic to disable Fable 5 globally, not just in restricted markets. The company initially complied but said the blanket suspension was “disproportionate” and launched negotiations with the Commerce Department and the National Security Council.
Those talks produced a compromise. Fable 5 is now live worldwide except in countries on the Treasury Department's sanctions list, including China, Russia, and Iran. The administration also agreed to lift a simultaneous ban on Mythos 5, Anthropic's less powerful but widely-used enterprise model, the company said.
Under the deal, Anthropic must implement real-time monitoring of Fable 5's output for any attempt to generate code or text related to nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons design. The company is also required to report any such attempts to the FBI within 24 hours, according to the joint statement from Anthropic and the White House.
