There is a shadow hanging over this Fable thing
Anthropic has disabled access to its Fable and Mythos AI models for all foreign nationals, including its own employees, following a U.S. government export control directive. The order cites national security concerns regarding the use of these models by foreign entities.
Why it matters
This represents a significant escalation in the use of export controls to restrict access to advanced AI technology, impacting global research and development.
theahura Jun 13, 2026 1 2 Share Well. I wasn’t quite planning to write this evening, since it’s Friday and Friday’s are for when I like to code, and when I say code I mean ‘let the agent code while I watch soccer with my friends.’ Recently I’ve been making some fun html games. I actually have another draft post in the barrel about how I think we should see a resurgence of the ‘flash game’ renaissance because it has become so much easier to make fun little games with AI tooling. But in the middle of me thinking about how to make my shitty backrooms-themed shooter play a bit better, the agent went ‘Sorry! This model doesn’t exist any more!’
