Trump administration nears Anthropic Fable 5 reinstatement after 15-day shutdown

A potential restoration of access could influence global AI security policy and prediction market activity as U.S. officials weigh whether Anthropic’s safeguards are sufficient.

Summary

The Trump administration is close to letting Anthropic restore access to its Fable 5 model after it was taken offline for 15 days over security concerns. Axios reported on June 27 that U.S. officials may soon allow the reinstatement, while the Commerce Department has already reopened limited Mythos 5 access for trusted users. Commerce Secretary Lutnick said Anthropic had made significant progress with the government on related risks, signaling that officials may be prepared to ease restrictions. A restoration of Fable 5 access could also shape global AI security policy and affect prediction market dynamics.
