Happy to hear Fable 5 and Mythos 5 are coming back after the export controls were lifted.
That said, from a user’s perspective this whole episode has been pretty rough: sudden shutdown, unclear communication, and now a quick reversal less than three weeks later. It’s hard to build products or trust roadmaps on top of models that can disappear overnight for reasons we don’t really understand.
I’m excited to use Fable 5 again, but I’d really like to see more stability, clearer timelines, and better transparency around these decisions so developers and users aren’t left in the dark next time.
We’ve received notice that the Department of Commerce has lifted export controls on Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5.
We'll begin restoring access tomorrow, and will share an update soon.
We’re grateful to our users for their patience, and to everyone who worked with us on redeploying the models.
