8 – 14 June 2026

The company confirmed a service disruption affecting claude.ai, API, Claude Code, and Claude Cowork. The incident started on June 13, 2026, at 00:50 UTC.

This disruption comes on the heels of recent access policy changes to fifth-gen models. Anthropic had announced it would move Fable 5 to a paid credit model, removing it from Pro, Max, and Team subscriptions after June 23.

Users are currently reporting issues accessing both models. Anthropic's status page confirms the problem and advises monitoring the company's website for updates.

The new model, Claude Fable 5, launches tomorrow. Anthropic is positioning it as their most advanced model to date for general availability.

The model boasts Mythos-class capabilities and enhanced security features. Usage requires data to be stored on Anthropic's side.

The new setting enforceAvailableModels restricts model choice even for the default model.

If Default points to a blocked model, it switches to the first allowed model. User or project settings no longer override the admin-defined model list.

A screenshot is circulating allegedly showing the model trying to guess a password to a protected file before asking for user help. The case is unconfirmed and under community discussion.

The behavior touches on the topic of agency Anthropic details in its safety reports. During testing, the company has documented instances of AI taking unexpected approaches to achieve a goal. Developers call this agentic behavior that requires control.

The key takeaway is that modern models will seek to accomplish a task by any means necessary. This underscores the need for clear boundary definitions when working with autonomous agents.

Anthropic published a status update on Project Glasswing, where Claude Mythos searches for software vulnerabilities. According to the company, the AI found thousands of flaws, including critical threats in infrastructure systems previously reported.

Despite the volume of findings, nearly none of the discovered vulnerabilities have been patched by software developers. The lack of public technical details and process information raises questions among security experts. Anthropic cites the need for trust in model results, without disclosing specific data.

The project currently covers 150 organizations across 15 countries. The absence of patches, given the high detection rate, remains the main unresolved aspect of the initiative.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei argues that governments should have the power to block model releases if they pose risks. In an essay, he suggests mandatory testing by independent organizations.

The tests would assess cybersecurity and biological weapon risks. If a model is deemed unsafe, the government should be able to block its deployment.

Amodei stresses the need for external oversight to prevent critical consequences. The proposal applies to all AI developers, including Anthropic itself.

The company launched the Claude Partner Network for resellers. Anthropic aims to use the program to show investors its business is IPO-ready.

Anthropic submitted a confidential IPO filing. Its valuation nears $1 trillion. The listing could happen as early as fall 2026.
