The Trump ‌administration is close to allowing Anthropic to restore access to its Fable 5 model, Axios reported on Saturday, citing a source close to the situation.

Reuters could not immediately confirm ‌the report. Anthropic and the White House ​did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Anthropic had abruptly disabled its most advanced ⁠AI models — Mythos 5 and Fable 5 — for ​all users after the government's June 12 export control ⁠order. Insiders expect the administration's limits on Fable 5 could be lifted as soon as this coming week, the report said.

Conversations ‌between the parties are expected to ​continue over the weekend, ‌and Anthropic expects to restore Fable access soon, the report added, ‌citing a second source.

Anthropic said on Friday that the U.S. government has allowed it to release its ⁠Claude Mythos 5 artificial ‌intelligence model to some "trusted" ⁠U.S. organizations, partially reversing an order two weeks ago to ⁠suspend ⁠access over national security risks.

The government is also moving towards allowing ‌Anthropic to release Fable soon, although a timeline is unclear, a source familiar with the directive told Reuters.

Both Fable ‌5 ​and Mythos use ‌the same underlying AI model, but Fable 5 is designed to be widely available for ​public use whereas some safeguards are lifted for Mythos.
