New reporting traces Fable 5 ban to Amazon; Anthropic billing split takes effect today

Fortune reported on June 14 that an internal warning from Amazon - surfacing concerns about Project Glasswing’s Mythos 5 deployment - prompted the White House to issue the export-control order that forced Anthropic to pull Fable 5 and Mythos 5 offline on June 12 (Fortune). The directive, relayed in a letter from Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to CEO Dario Amodei, barred access to both models for all foreign nationals - including Anthropic’s own foreign national employees - and Anthropic disabled both models for all users worldwide to ensure compliance (Axios). Both models remain unavailable as of June 15 with no confirmed restoration timeline; Anthropic has stated the order is based on a misunderstanding, noting that the jailbreak technique cited by the government also applies to GPT-5.5 and other publicly available models (Anthropic).

Also effective today, Anthropic split billing for automated workloads: the Claude Agent SDK, the claude-p CLI command, Claude Code GitHub Actions, and third-party agent apps now draw from a separate monthly credit pool sized at $20 for Pro, $100 for Max 5x, and $200 for Max 20x, metered at full API rates with no rollover, rather than sharing the flat-rate subscription pool used by interactive chat and terminal Claude Code sessions (The New Stack); automated traffic halts when the pool is exhausted unless the user has manually enabled overflow billing (TechTimes). Separately, two model identifiers retire today: claude-sonnet-4-20250514 and claude-opus-4-20250514 no longer accept API requests, with Anthropic directing developers to migrate to claude-sonnet-4-6 and claude-opus-4-8 respectively (Anthropic Docs).
