The US government issued a first-of-its-kind export control directive against Anthropic on June 13, 2026 [1]. The order forces the AI firm to suspend global access to its newly released Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models [1][2]. Officials cited unspecified national security concerns regarding potential security bypass methods within the systems [1].
Anthropic has already blocked Mythos access following the order, which reportedly aimed to cut off non-citizens [2]. This directive marks a significant escalation in how the government regulates advanced artificial intelligence tools abroad [2]. Leadership at the firm issued a formal response addressing the unprecedented nature of the ban [3].
