Just Now, The Ban Lifted! Commerce Secretary Lutnick Personally Signs
Just now, global developers were completely lit up by a piece of news.
The well-known AI information platform BridgeMind AI posted on X:
Officially confirmed, Fable 5 is back.
The long 18-day darkest hour has finally ended.
According to BridgeMind AI's disclosure, the U.S. Department of Commerce has officially withdrawn the export control ban that previously caused an uproar.
This revocation order was personally signed into effect today by U.S. Commerce Secretary Lutnick.
In a letter to Anthropic's Chief Computing Officer Tom Brown, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick stated that after Anthropic agreed to 'proactively detect and address security risks related to the model,' collaborate on protocols for future releases, and report any 'malicious activity' found in its models, export licenses for its products were no longer required.
Following closely, Anthropic also released an official statement, completely igniting emotions across the internet:
We have been notified that the U.S. Department of Commerce has lifted the export controls on Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5.
We will begin restoring access tomorrow and will share more updates soon. We are incredibly grateful for our users' patience, and to all our partners who worked with us to redeploy the models.
According to reports, Fable 5 is open to all 'regular users,' this lifting is not limited to U.S. users:
After 18 days, this blockade war concerning the direction of global AI technology and affecting countless livelihoods has finally ended with a lifting.
Fable 5, finally sees the light of day again!
The Agonizing 18 Days: Vibe Coding Throttled
When Fable 5 was first added to the export control list, the entire tech circle was stunned.
During these 18 days, the Vibe Coding economy was forced to pause.
Countless AI startups relying on Fable 5 for their underlying logic faced shutdown crises.
Independent developers accustomed to generating tens of thousands of lines of code daily reverted to inefficient modes.
Multinational teams had to halt overseas business expansion due to cumbersome 'case-by-case approval' and 'license' requirements.
These 18 days were not only Anthropic's darkest hour but also a 'withdrawal period' for global developers.
Now, with Lutnick's stroke of the pen, the thorn stuck in the throat has finally been pulled out!
From Reddit to X, excited netizens can no longer contain their inner joy. Massive discussions and memes instantly emerged, expressing the release suppressed for 18 days.
Reviewing this nerve-wracking ban incident, it's not hard to see the deeper meaning hidden behind it.
The initial blockade reflected regulators' concerns about the powerful capabilities of top-tier AI models.
But the reality of 18 days proved: managing technological innovation with blocking methods only leads to a lose-lose situation.
For Anthropic, this storm might also be an unexpected 'hunger marketing' campaign. Now, market enthusiasm has been completely activated.
Additionally, this incident also teaches us the importance of emotional intelligence.
According to foreign media reports, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei was considered 'low in emotional intelligence' and difficult to communicate with during negotiations with officials, leading to slow progress.
Later, the company sent co-founder Tom Brown to participate in key meetings. Feedback indicated Tom Brown was more effective at communication and pushing things forward, the negotiation atmosphere noticeably improved, and progress became much smoother.
Tomorrow, The Moment to Witness the Miracle
Anthropic has already promised, 'we will begin restoring access tomorrow and will share more updates soon.'
For all developers, entrepreneurs, and every ordinary person, the door to Vibe Coding has reopened, the strongest model is about to be in place.
