What happened
On June 30, 2026, the US government lifted export controls on two Anthropic models. Export controls are government limits on selling technology across borders. The limits had suspended access to Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 on June 12. With the controls lifted, the models regained regulatory clearance.
The context
The controls had paused Anthropic's most advanced models for about three weeks. This is a market-access change, not a judgment on the models.
