I shudder to think what the definition of "malicious activity" is that they will be reporting to the government. Speech has been severely chilled the last couple of years.

It's nice that the restriction is going to get lifted but I hope this doesn't make anyone complacent that their coding work is going to be scrutinized by the US government, with AI, when using these models.

This is great news, I'm sure many teams couldn't do their best work because Claude Fable 5 was unavailable. I wonder what their hiring pages look like now, are they starting to remove job postings?

there is no way Fable and Mythos had such an impact in such a short amount of time that people were hiring based on it.

They need Lehane or… since OpenAI got him, what is Fabiani up to these days?

Good to hear. I was going to cancel my subscription if I couldn't use Fable. No point in paying Anthropic to train models I can't use.

Who knows - this could be the last model we see from Anthropic. Or it just becomes the wild west and we figure it out as we go.

Mildly surprising they lifted export restrictions for Mythos too. Isn’t that Fable minus the safety layer?

The classic chaotic governance model and creation of an uncertain business environment by the Trump admin in the most important industry for the US economy.

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.
