Anthropic's Claude Fable 5 is back online worldwide after an 18-day government shutdown

This is the first time a government has switched a frontier model off and then back on, and it quietly rewrites who is really in control of the most powerful AI. Anthropic won its model back by proving it could bolt on new safeguards fast, which means state pre-clearance is turning into a normal step in shipping a model rather than a one-off crisis. Every major lab should now assume that the entity able to pull the plug is a regulator, not a customer.
