Anthropic announced it received Department of Commerce approval to lift export controls on Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, ending weeks of negotiations with the Trump administration.

Why it matters: Export restrictions on advanced AI models represent a growing regulatory flashpoint; Anthropic's successful negotiation signals how geopolitical AI policy will shape access to frontier models and cloud infrastructure availability.
