US lifts export restrictions on Anthropic's AI models

In early July 2026, the US government lifted export restrictions on two powerful AI models developed by Anthropic, a San Francisco-based AI company. The models, named Fable 5 and Mythos 5, had previously been subject to export controls due to security concerns. Anthropic confirmed the decision, saying the restrictions have been removed.

The move comes after the Trump administration had imposed the controls, citing potential risks from the advanced AI systems. With the restrictions lifted, Anthropic can now make the models available again internationally. The company had paused access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 while the export rules were in place.
