Anthropic will restore worldwide access to its Fable 5 AI model after more than two weeks of a U.S. government ban, Axios reported on Saturday. A company source told Axios that security concerns about possible jailbreaks in the model's safety mechanisms were resolved through negotiations with the U.S. government. The model is expected to be redeployed outside the United States in the coming week.
Background on the ban The Trump administration banned access to Fable 5 on June 12 after several months of discussions between U.S. officials and the company over technology access, regulations, and safety mechanisms. The company stated that the government identified a method to bypass a safeguard that would prevent Fable 5 from identifying software vulnerabilities.
" "We disagree that the finding of a narrow potential jailbreak should be cause for recalling a commercial model deployed to hundreds of millions of people," the company said.
Related restrictions and future plans Mythos 5, Anthropic's cybersecurity-focused model, was also restricted to authorized users under regulations set by the Trump administration. U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick stated in a letter that Anthropic has worked with the government to address risks associated with both models.
The company said Mythos 5 operates under heavy guardrails that prevent its use for cyberattacks or biological weapons development. Anthropic and OpenAI are both pushing to implement the president's executive order for voluntary vetting of new AI models ahead of planned initial public offerings later this year.
