Trump administration officials are nearing a decision to restore Anthropic’s Fable 5 after a 15-day shutdown, while the Commerce Department has already reopened limited Mythos 5 access for trusted users.
Anthropic is moving toward an agreement with the U.S. to ease restrictions on its AI models, with the Trump administration reportedly close to allowing access to the company’s Fable 5 model after a 15-day shutdown over security concerns. Axios reported on June 27 that U.S. officials may soon permit the reinstatement, while the Commerce Department has already reopened limited access to Mythos 5 for trusted users. Commerce Secretary Lutnick said Anthropic had made significant progress with the government on related risks, underscoring the broader tension between national security priorities and cross-border AI cooperation that could influence technology investment and future regulation.
