Anthropic Disables Fable 5 and Mythos 5

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

A fake-looking Anthropic announcement says that US export controls have forced the company to disable the fictional Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models for everyone. The joke parodies sudden corporate service shutdown notices and exaggerated AI product announcements, making it useful as an absurd reaction to an unexpected restriction or outage.
