# Fable 5 Export Controls Lifted, Global Access Restored

> The US government lifted export restrictions on Anthropic's Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models starting July 1, ending a nineteen-day blackout that forced the company to suspend global access when controls were imposed June 12. The restriction came after researchers showed methods to extract vulnerability-disclosure code from Fable 5, but the government's decision to reinstate the models reflects confidence that Anthropic's mitigations are working. Fable 5 is now available worldwide on Claude, Claude Code, and cloud platforms, though with a promotional period: through July 7, paid users get 50% of their weekly usage included, then transition to credit-based access. The quick resolution signals the emerging playbook for frontier model governance, not permanent bans, but negotiated access with transparent safeguards and government observation.
