As reported by Unrot, Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 have remained offline since June 12, when the US Department of Commerce issued an export control directive requiring suspension of access. Anthropic has publicly disagreed with the action but has not announced a resolution timeline. Negotiations are reportedly centered on a tiered access structure: US citizens and permanent residents would retain full access, while foreign nationals could face restrictions or a geofenced version with enhanced query monitoring. The directive's speed — issued without standard notice-and-comment procedures — has drawn scrutiny from AI policy lawyers, who note it creates an informal regulatory mechanism for AI capabilities without a clear statutory basis. How Congress responds to this case may shape AI export policy for years.
