I Tried Anthropic's Forbidden Fable 5 AI Before the US Government Shut It Down
Anthropic says the models may return in coming days after officials barred foreign-national access and forced the company to suspend use.
- On June 12, 2026, the U.S. government issued an export-control directive requiring Anthropic to suspend access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all foreign nationals, forcing the company to immediately cut off services globally.
- Anthropic suspects the directive relates to a recently discovered jailbreak, though the government provided no specific reason. President Donald Trump has previously called the company an "out-of-control Radical Left AI company."
- As of June 20, 2026, President Trump stated he no longer views Anthropic as a national security threat. Chris Ciauri, Anthropic's managing director of international, expects the models to return in the "coming days."
- The suspension highlights risks for international organizations, as the European Commission reports the EU relies on foreign countries for over 80% of its digital products, creating strategic vulnerabilities.
- Anthropic remains in communication with the Trump administration to restore access to its models, while business leaders now evaluate the strategic risks of relying on U.S.-controlled AI tools that can be abruptly shuttered.

The order may have had less to do with foreign AI use than with Anthropic itself, an organization President Donald Trump has previously called an “out-of-control Radical Left AI company.” Anthropic, for its part, has framed the directive as a mis…
