The Trump administration lifted restrictions on Anthropic’s new Fable and Mythos AI models on Tuesday, restoring access just over two weeks after export controls were initially imposed.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick announced the decision on X, stating the agency had “worked closely with Anthropic to analyze and approve Fable 5 to ensure alignment across the US Government and strengthen America’s leadership in AI.” Lutnick informed Anthropic co-founder Tom Brown of the decision via a letter obtained by The Hill.

Anthropic confirmed it was notified of the decision for both Fable 5 and Mythos 5 and will begin restoring the models on Wednesday. The company expressed gratitude to its users for their patience and to those who helped redeploy the models.

Earlier this month, the Trump administration issued a federal export control order that led Anthropic to abruptly pull its newest Claude Mythos 5 and Fable models just three days after their release. A source close to Anthropic said the company was given only 90 minutes to pull Fable, without prior indication of a national security threat.

Tuesday’s decision follows a recent government approval of Claude Mythos 5 for a limited group of companies, though overall export controls remained in place until now.

Shortly before Lutnick’s announcement, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles thanked companies for collaborating with the White House to implement President Trump’s latest AI cybersecurity order, which includes a voluntary model testing process. Wiles wrote, “The government and private sector have worked together in a way we have never seen before and this foundation of America First is unprecedented. Our shared priority remains: get the best tech deployed as quickly and safely as possible.”
