Why the Government Just Killed Claude Fable 5

From the creator

Anthropic just shut off access to Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after a U.S. government export-control directive cited national security concerns. In this video, I break down what happened, why Fable 5 was such a big deal, how it connects to the more powerful Mythos model, why the government may have reacted to a reported jailbreak claim, and why Anthropic says the decision is based on a misunderstanding. I also cover how long users actually had access, why people were so excited about the model, how expensive it was to run, and what this could mean for the future of frontier AI access. The bigger question is whether the best AI models will remain available to regular users, or whether governments and a small number of approved companies will control access to the most capable systems.
