Recently, the AI world was shaken by the news that the United States government had placed export controls on Anthropic\u2019s new model, Fable (now restored). This restriction prevented anyone who was not a US citizen from accessing the model, even within the United States. Anthropic responded by taking the model offline. This development raises new questions for CEOs and CIOs. What are the security considerations around models you are deploying? How do you ensure business continuity if the models suddenly become unavailable? In short, how do you protect your business?<\/p>\n

What Happened Here? What Are Fable and Mythos?<\/h2>\n

Fable and Mythos are the new model introductions from Anthropic. Mythos is an advanced, less-restrictive model available only to trusted organizations and Fable is its public-facing counterpart equipped with strict security guardrails.<\/p>\n

However, after the immediate release of Fable, industry concerns caused the US government to impose export restrictions on Fable. At the time of this writing, access to Fable has been restored , while similar concerns are being worked through about OpenAI\u2019s new model – GPT 5.6. <\/p>\n
