Claude Fable 5, Anthropic’s most powerful model, was launched and blocked in just 3 days by an order from the U.S. government. What exactly happened?

In this episode, we analyze what makes Fable 5 and Mythos 5 so revolutionary — from migrating 50 million lines of code in one day to speeding up protein design tenfold — and why the U.S. Department of Commerce issued an export-control directive that forced Anthropic to shut down global access. We explore the jailbreak discovered by Amazon, the SK Telecom case, and the three possible paths for the models to return.

The most important point: Anthropic is talking about days, not weeks. The White House AI czar says the solution is “easily achievable,” prediction markets give it a 57% chance of returning before July 1, and the company’s new privacy policy already contains the technical mechanism to bring it back.
