US bans foreign access to Anthropicβs Mythos and Fable AI models

WASHINGTON, June 13 β Anthropic said βon Friday it has βbeen ordered by the US government to suspend access βfor all foreign nationals to its βFable 5 and Mythos 5 artificial intelligence models, citing national security concerns.
The company βsaid it received the export control directive on Friday from the government, which gave no specific details of its βnational security concern.
It is Anthropicβs β understanding, however, that β the government believes it β has become aware β of a β method of bypassing, or βjailbreaking,β Fable 5, according to the companyβs statement.
βThe β net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers β to ensure compliance. Access to all other Anthropic models will not be affected,β β Anthropic said.
Anthropic added that it believed β there β was a βmisunderstandingβ and that it βis working to βrestore access to the βmodels as soon βas possible. β Reuters
