The US Commerce Department authorized Anthropic to restore access to its Mythos 5 model for a select list of roughly 100 US organizations, including federal agencies and private firms with critical-infrastructure roles, according to a letter from Secretary Howard Lutnick to Anthropic seen by Axios and NBC News. The letter follows a June 12 export-control directive that required Anthropic to cut access to both Mythos 5 and Fable 5; Fable 5 remains restricted for general use. Lutnick explicitly reserved the right to revoke or adjust the access list at any time. Anthropic said it is 'working to provision the approved set of providers and restore their access to Mythos 5 as quickly as possible' and aims to make Fable 5 'available for general use again' (Axios; NBC News; Reuters; CNBC; Semafor).
