US Commerce Department Export Order Forces Anthropic to Shut Fable 5 on June 12, 2026

On June 12, 2026, Anthropic disabled its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models worldwide after a U.S. Commerce Department export-control directive required suspending access for foreign nationals. The shutdown hit pre-IPO crypto instruments tied to Anthropic’s implied valuation, including Hyperliquid’s vntl:ANTHROPIC (down 3% to $1,638) and Solana’s Prestocks ANTHROPIC token (down 9.11% to $655.32). As of June 13, 2026, Anthropic said it is working to restore access but has not provided a timeline.
