Anthropic Fable model government controversy

8 items3 sourcesupdated 49d agotrend 0

The Trump administration ordered Anthropic to take its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models offline, citing national security concerns and demanding the company revoke access for all foreign nationals and block potential jailbreaks—requirements that security experts say may be technically impossible. The move marked the first time US export controls have been used to restrict access to an AI model, leaving Anthropic and its employees uncertain of the legal basis for the order.
