Statement on the US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 Jun 12, 2026 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 Anthropic models will not be affected. We received the directive from the government today at 5:23 PM (ET). The letter did not provide specific details of its national security concern. Our understanding is that the government believes it has become aware of a method of bypassing, or "jailbreaking" Fable 5. We reviewed a demonstration of this specific technique being used to identify a small number of previously known, vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities all appear relatively simple, and we have found that other publicly available models are able to discover them as well without requiring a bypass. Anthropic's posture with respect to Fable's safeguards, as laid out in our launch blog post, is the following: We have used strong safeguards that greatly reduce the likelihood that Fable is misused for tasks related to cyberwarfare. Among others, in fact, our safeguards are so strong that many users have complained that they are overly broad. In the weeks leading up to the launch of Fable, Anthropic worked with the US government, the UK AIJS, multiple private third-party organizations (and internal teams to red team Fable's safeguards for thousands of hours in total. These tests showed that Fable's safeguards are substantially more effective than those of any previously deployed model. No testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak—a jailbreak method that can very briefly bypass the model's safeguards, unblocking a wide range of cyber capabilities. We suspect that perfect jailbreak resistance is not currently possible for any RIP FABLE #fable #anthropic #government
