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.

@mark_k Yeah, probably. I’ve been working with Fable 5 and recreating old NES classics, and it doesn’t feel like a catastrophe at all. So what are you thinking of?
Introducing Claude Fable 5: a Mythos-class model that we’ve made safe for general use.
Its capabilities exceed those of any model we’ve ever made generally available.
The Siri/EU situation is a regulatory masterpiece.
Apple cannot launch Apple Intelligence in the EU.
Why? Because under the DMA, if Siri gets deep system access, every other AI assistant must get the exact same. Anything less would be unfair competition. A gatekeeper privileging its own service.
So either Siri ships and every Shenzhen startup, Cyprus shell company, and nephew hackathon project gets identical root access to 450 million Europeans’ digital lives or nothing ships.
Apple proposed a “Trusted System Agent”: a security intermediary so third-party assistants get capabilities without ripping the phone wide open.
The EU rejected it.
Magnificent.
Apple’s response: fine, then no developer APIs either. No Apple Intelligence, no third-party integrations, no foundation model access for EU developers. The entire layer simply does not exist on this continent.
Excellent.
This is the path. Why depend on American AI when we can build the entire stack ourselves? A European foundation model, trained on a European GPU cluster, running on a European OS, on a European phone, manufactured in a European fab, powered by European nuclear plants we have spent fifteen years closing.
Estimated time to ship: 2047.
Estimated cost: the GDP of three member states.
Estimated outcome: a chatbot that requires a cookie banner before each response.
Worth it.
In the meantime, European users are protected from Apple processing data Apple already holds by ensuring nobody processes anything at all.
Not a bug. The intended outcome.
Regulatory product design with a sledgehammer, swung with precision.

@piotrekcichocki@EU_Commission The side with the technology sets the terms of the negotiation, and in this case, that’s Apple. As a certain famous president put it: “You have no cards.”
Jag kan se historien framför mig.
Klassens plugghäst Lisa går förbi baksidan av gympasalen. Coola gänget sitter där och scrollar Insta.
– Tja, Lisa. Ska du kika eller?
– Vadå, är du feg?
Lisa tänker efter. Vad kan vara farligt egentligen? Det är ju bara dansande pandor på Insta.
Hon tar en snabb titt.
Och det blir inkörsporten.
Snabbt går det utför. Insta. TikTok. Snapchat. Till och med boomer-appen Facebook provar hon.
Visst försöker de vuxna sätta stopp, men alla kids känner ju en Lan. Kvarterets VPN-langare. Det är bara att skicka ett meddelande.
Så kommer Bengt på sin elsparkcykel. Han drar över sundet, kommer hem med billiga VPN-koder från kontinenten och säljer dem vidare till kidsen.
Lisas föräldrar sitter i köket och håller om varandra.
Allt rasade när sanningen om Lisas språkresa kom fram.
Det var ingen språkresa.
Det var mycket värre än så.
Hon hade fått praktikplats och stipendium hos Meta.
Nu har de förlorat kontakten med sin dotter. Jo, hon finns på sociala medier, men där är inte vi.
Pappan klandrar sig själv.
– Var jag för hård? Jag förstod ju inte att Lisa läste Teknikveckan och såg hur Atterfors testade betor. Hon ville också testa, men jag sa nej. Borde jag ha tillåtit public beta ändå?
Då kanske Lisa hade varit med oss här idag.
Det sista familjen hörde var att hon hade börjat med AI.
Föräldrarna kramar varandras händer.
– AI…
Ingen säger något mer.
– Först sociala medier. Sedan AI. Vi såg inte signalerna.
Introducing "Kiska Marie" in her debut music video. Anyone who followed us on our old YouTube channel will remember that we started adding music videos from "Star-Babes & Starships 8: Jiggle Physics" in the fall of 2024, which was one the earliest music videos made with AI tech and the first full-length video with choreography of its type at that time, back when almost everything was "50s Super Panavision".
Music videos are a valid test of the systems we use to develop our sci-fi series and can lead to commission work, so we occasionally include them in our uploads. Normal sci-fi production is still ongoing, don't worry.
Our posts on X are a little irregular as we rebuild on multiple platforms at once, but many thanks to anyone who supports us here.
