June 30 (Reuters) - ⁠The U.S. Commerce Department is ⁠expected to lift export controls ‌on Anthropic's Fable 5 AI model on Tuesday, less than three weeks ​after the company was ⁠ordered to suspend ⁠access to its most advanced AI ⁠models ‌over national security risks, according to a ⁠source familiar with the matter.

Anthropic abruptly ​disabled ‌its Mythos 5 and Fable ⁠5 ​models following the export-control order on June 12. On Friday, Anthropic ⁠said the U.S. government ​had allowed it to release its Claude Mythos 5 artificial intelligence ⁠model to some "trusted" U.S. organizations, partially reversing order.

Politico reported the possible lifting of export controls ​earlier.

The White House ⁠did not immediately respond to ​a request for comment.
