Anthropic says the U.S. Commerce Department has cleared the company to restore public access to its Fable 5 AI model, reversing restrictions that were imposed earlier over potential security risks. NBC News reports that the model is again available to users after the government required Anthropic to disable it weeks before. PravdaReport adds that Anthropic describes the restriction as a temporary suspension tied to researchers finding a possible method to bypass Fable 5’s safety mechanisms. The company says the reported technique could prompt the model to identify vulnerabilities in third-party software. PravdaReport further states that Anthropic restores access on July 1 and says it provided additional details about why access was limited and what steps it took before reinstating availability. Business Insider characterizes the episode as part of a broader export-control and regulatory process, noting that the return follows a change in U.S. policy that lifted the earlier limits. Overall, sources agree that Fable 5 access is reinstated after U.S. review and that Anthropic cites security-related findings and subsequent measures as part of the process.
