Anthropic has cut off access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models after receiving a government order tied to national security concerns. The order reportedly required the company to block access for all foreign nations, including access from inside and outside the US. Anthropic responded by removing access for all customers, and the order also applied to Anthropic employees.
Anthropic announced that the US government has issued an export control directive requiring suspension of all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5. The provided source does not include further details about the affected users, jurisdictions, timeline, technical implementation, or reasons for the directive. Based only on the title, the item is best understood as a regulatory access restriction rather than a product update or model performance announcement.
Anthropic has suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models for foreign nationals, citing a U.S. government export-control directive tied to national security concerns.

With no article body provided, the only supported reading is that this is an opinion piece advocating for open source AI.

Simon Willison comments on Anthropic’s statement that a US government export-control directive requires suspending access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all foreign nationals, including Anthropic employees. Anthropic says the directive cites national security concerns but offers only verbal evidence of a narrow Fable 5 jailbreak. Willison notes that, as of 9:01pm ET, he still had access to Fable through claude.ai and Claude Code.
A Claude status incident states that access to Claude Mythos 5 and Claude Fable 5 has been suspended. No article body or additional explanation was provided, so the reason, affected users, duration, and operational impact are not specified. The item should be treated as a service-access incident involving Claude-branded models until more official details are available.
Vercel has added DeepSeek model availability via Azure on AI Gateway. Based on the provided changelog title, the update appears to expand AI Gateway’s supported model/provider routing options rather than introduce a new model from Vercel itself. For developers already using Vercel AI Gateway, the main implication is easier access to DeepSeek models through an Azure-backed integration path.
