In case you were wondering why Claude Fable isn’t working…

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

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 Claude models is not affected.

We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

I hope someone close to the Younger family is able to keep an eye on social media. In the dark days to come a collection of some of these messages, stories & small notes of great admiration may be a comfort. They must be very proud of him.
