💥 Big News
After 19 days offline, Claude Fable 5 is back globally on Claude.ai, Claude Code, and Cowork. The US Department of Commerce lifted export controls June 30, ending a shutdown triggered by a jailbreak (a technique for bypassing a model's safety guardrails) that let the model produce exploit code. Anthropic redeployed it with a new classifier that blocks the specific technique in over 99% of cases.
Pro, Max, and Team plan users can access it now at no extra cost, included in up to 50% of weekly usage through July 7, then via credits. Some coding prompts may reroute to Opus 4.8 due to the tighter guardrails. 
Why it matters:
- Available now to Pro, Max & Team subscribers at no extra cost through July 7
- New safety classifier blocks the jailbreak that caused the shutdown in over 99% of cases
- Anthropic agreed to give the US government early access to frontier models before future releases
