Anthropic released Claude Fable 5, a Mythos-class AI model available to the general public with cybersecurity guardrails and data-collection opt-ins, but subsequently disabled it following a U.S. government directive limiting foreign national access to the company's most advanced models. Capability drove most of the signal at 8.0/10 — well above normal.
