Anthropic on Wednesday unfroze access to its advanced Fable and Mythos AI models after the Trump administration lifted an export-control ban.
\nThe return of the two models \u2014 with Fable 5 available for general use and the more powerful Mythos 5 limited to a coalition of trusted partners, as it was prior to the ban \u2014 represents significant progress in ongoing talks between President Donald Trump\u2019s administration and AI firms over the responsible deployment of frontier AI models, an issue the U.S. government and the tech industry have sparred over in recent months.<\/p>\n

In a Tuesday statement announcing a resolution to one of the AI race\u2019s most intense clashes, Anthropic insisted that its models had always been safe and that the government had blown the situation out of proportion \u2014 suggesting that tense conversations still lie ahead about the balance between offering advanced capabilities to defenders and keeping them out of the hands of U.S. adversaries.
\nThe Commerce Department issued its export-control ban after Amazon warned the government that it was possible to circumvent Fable\u2019s safeguards against abuse. On Tuesday, Anthropic reiterated its argument \u2014 also advanced by a coalition of leading cybersecurity experts \u2014 that the same issue existed in less-powerful AI models, but it also said that it \u201cmoved quickly to address the reported bypass.\u201d
\nAfter spending the past two weeks working closely with \u201cthe government and other partners, including Amazon,\u201d Anthropic said, it \u201ctrained an improved safety classifier that targets and blocks the behavior described in the report.\u201d
\nResearchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology\u2019s Center for AI Standards and Innovation \u201chave tested both our prior and new safeguards and agree that they are extraordinarily strong,\u201d Anthropic added.
\nAt the same time, the company warned that the changes could have some negative side effects for cybersecurity researchers seeking assistance with defensive work.
\n\u201cThe new classifier \u2026 comes at the cost of flagging benign requests more often during routine coding and debugging tasks,\u201d Anthropic said. \u201cAs with all our safeguards, we\u2019ll continue to refine this to better distinguish genuine misuse from legitimate requests and reduce false positives.\u201d<\/p>\n

Call for a more formal vetting process
\nWhile the dispute over Fable and Mythos might be over, the AI industry remains concerned about the Trump administration\u2019s arbitrary approach to scrutinizing frontier models\u2019 availability.
\nTrump recently issued an executive order establishing a process for frontier AI firms to offer the government early access to certain especially powerful models. On Wednesday, Anthropic said it would provide that early access for \u201cmodels that materially advance the capability frontier in areas relevant to national security.\u201d The company also said it would share threat intelligence about how hackers are abusing its tools and participate in the vulnerability clearinghouse established in Trump\u2019s directive.
\nAnthropic stressed its commitment to working closely with the government to address potential AI security risks. It said it was \u201csubstantially scaling up\u201d its partnerships with federal agencies, including through dedicated personnel and compute resources. It also vowed to \u201cwork with the government and with industry peers toward a shared, voluntary security and evaluation standard for frontier model providers.\u201d
\nAnthropic also said it was problematic that there was \u201cno agreed-upon standard\u201d for classifying a jailbreak\u2019s severity \u2014 an important precondition for any formal model-review process.
\n\u201cA common standard for assessing AI jailbreaks would help us and other companies launch new models safely, as well as allow our users to make the most of their advanced capabilities,\u201d Anthropic said.
\nTo that end, the company announced, it is working with Amazon, Google, Microsoft and other members of Project Glasswing \u2014 through which Anthropic grants Mythos access to vetted organizations \u2014 on a \u201cconsensus framework\u201d for jailbreak classifications and responses. The company said it envisioned the framework rating each potential jailbreak on four criteria, including how easy it is for someone to discover the workaround and how much additional model capability the workaround enables.<\/p>\n
