On June 13, 2026, the US government issued an export control directive that halted access to two of Anthropic's most advanced AI models for all foreign users, including the company's own international employees. The directive, issued by the Commerce Secretary, required the suspension of access for any foreign national, leading to immediate disruptions. Anthropic had launched the models just four days earlier, with Fable 5 being made publicly available and Mythos 5 restricted to select partners.
