The Anthropic status board records an active incident — "We’ve suspended access to Claude Mythos 5 and Claude Fable 5" — affecting claude.ai, the Claude API, and Claude Code, and links to the access statement.
Anthropic issues a statement on a US government export-control directive suspending all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5. The company says it intends to restore Fable 5 to subscription plans when capacity and clearance allow.
Anthropic releases Fable 5 and Mythos 5 — the same underlying model, differentiated by safeguards. Fable 5 ships with safety classifiers that reroute flagged requests to Claude Opus 4.8; Mythos 5 lifts those classifiers under Glasswing-only access.
Fable 5 becomes available on the Claude API, the Claude Platform on AWS, Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Foundry, with 1M-token context and up to 128k output. It is free for Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans through June 22, with usage-based pricing after June 23.
The first Mythos-class model — a tier above Opus — reaches roughly 50 selected organizations in cyberdefense and critical infrastructure, including the US government, under the limited-access Project Glasswing program.
