- The Trump administration issued an export control directive that restricts foreign national access to two of Anthropic’s advanced AI models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5.
- Anthropic was forced to disable these models for all customers in response to the directive, although other models remain unaffected.
- The directive appears to stem from concerns about the potential national security risks posed by a possible jailbreak of the systems.
- There has been a policy debate regarding how to regulate frontier AI tools that could have both defensive and offensive cyber applications.
- Anthropic disagreed with the order, stating that the cited issue was narrowly defined and comparable to capabilities already in the public domain.
