A June 26, 2026 letter from Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick partially lifted the U.S. export-control suspension on Claude Mythos 5, restoring access for roughly 100 'Annex A' U.S. entities, federal agencies, and trusted cyber-defense/infrastructure partners three weeks after the models were pulled offline. Fable 5 remains banned, though Axios and Reuters report its limits could lift within the week. Corroborated across CNBC, CNN, 9to5Mac, and The Hill (June 26–29).
