VentureBeat·Tuesday, 16 June 2026
The US government issued an export control directive ordering Anthropic to immediately suspend all access to its top-tier Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 models for foreign nationals, citing unspecified national security authorities. In response, Anthropic blocked all public access to both models globally — meaning even paying customers worldwide cannot use them.
Why It Matters
Any business or developer anywhere in the world using Anthropic's most advanced AI models just lost access overnight, with no clear timeline for restoration.
