Anthropic's Fable model pulled after US export controls block service to non-citizens
The article discusses the release and subsequent export control issues surrounding Anthropic's Fable model (the safety-conscious version of Mythos). Released on June 9th, the US government placed export controls on both models on June 12, preventing Anthropic from serving the model to non-US citizens, including their own employees. This made continued service functionally impossible due to legal risks, forcing Anthropic to pull the model. After weeks of negotiations, the export controls were eventually lifted.
Key quotes
The impossibility of verifying all users at the risk of severe legal action made it functionally impossible to continue serving the model so Anthropic pulled it.
Originally released on June 9th, the US government placed export controls on Fable and Mythos on June 12.
This meant that Anthropic could not serve the model to anyone who is not a US citizen, including their own employees.
