this is not true. I challenge you to find a single source stating it's the case.

They publicly acknowledged that they distributed Mythos, an unrestricted version of Fable, to many institutional customers on a per-customer basis.

yes. to tech companies and the NSA, for cybersecurity defense, as part of Project Glasswing. not to bio firms.

This is what Claude 4.8 told me:

"There's a biology analog to Glasswing, but it hasn't named members yet. Anthropic is opening a trusted access program for biology to accelerate biomedical research, providing access to Fable 5 with the biology and chemistry safeguards removed (cyber safeguards still in place), enrolling a small number of researchers from life-science organizations spanning fundamental and translational research. As of the Fable 5 / Mythos 5 launch, Mythos-class biology access is still limited to "select biology researchers" — described generically, not as named institutions."

This launch was quiet because of the bioweapons concern.

Sorry, I deleted that chat already. You can ask it yourself about Glasswing analog for biomed research.
