Export Control Directive Kills Access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 Over a Single Jailbreak Claim

The US government's export control directive against Anthropic's Fable 5 and Mythos 5 hinges on a single, narrow jailbreak technique that the company says reveals only minor, previously known vulnerabilities — a capability it claims is already present in OpenAI's GPT-5.5 and other public models.
