    The US government ordered Anthropic to disable Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 on June 13, 2026, citing national security concerns over a potential jailbreak vulnerability. Anthropic complied by blocking access to both models for all users globally, including employees, while other models like Opus 4.8 remain available.

    • US Commerce Department issued export control directive citing national security authorities and a narrow jailbreak method in Fable 5
    • Anthropic disabled access for all customers worldwide, including foreign nationals and company employees
    • Government provided vulnerability details verbally rather than in writing, per Anthropic's statement
    • Anthropic publicly disagreed, stating the jailbreak finding should not justify recalling a model deployed to hundreds of millions
    • All other Anthropic models, including Opus 4.8, remain operational
