Amazon CEO Reportedly Raised Anthropic Fable Concerns Prior to U.S. Order Forcing Models Offline
Anthropic said the government ordered limits after a minor jailbreak concern, and the company disputed that the flaw enabled high-level cyberattacks.
- On Friday, Artificial intelligence giant Anthropic shut down access to its new Fable and Mythos models after authorities imposed export controls citing national security concerns.
- Officials issued the directive after identifying a potential bypass of Fable safeguards, though authorities provided few details regarding the unspecified security risks.

- The Trump administration intends to lift the export control and permit Anthropic to re-release Fable and Mythos once the security issue is resolved.
