I’ve had a number of conversations with folks inside and outside government about the current situation with Anthropic, and here is what I believe to be true: — As we know, Anthropic publicly released its Mythos class models earlier this week under the commercial name Fable. — Fable is Mythos with guardrails. But if those guardrails fail, then you’ve exposed Mythos and its advanced cyber capabilities to people who shouldn’t have them. (Keep in mind that Anthropic itself widely promoted the idea that Mythos was a cyberweapon and needed to be regulated as such. They asked for government regulation of Mythos and championed the guardrails on Fable. If there is a vulnerability — big or small — it is Anthropic’s responsibility to patch.) — A highly credible trusted partner of both Anthropic and the USG who was testing Fable came forward with a jailbreak of those guardrails. The Admin asked Dario to fix the jailbreak or de-deploy the model. Dario refused. — In their blog post, Anthropic defended its decision by saying the jailbreak isn’t serious. That is not what the trusted partner and the USG believe; nor is that kind of minimizing language consistent with Anthropic’s brand as the AI safety company. It’s difficult to fathom how they could claim a jailbreak allowing operability of a cyber weapon could be defined as not “serious.” — In the past, Anthropic has always said that safety must be top priority and taken super seriously. In this case, Anthropic prioritized the continued offering of the consumer model over safety. — In reaction, the Admin issued the export control. The Admin did this reluctantly. It’s been very surprised that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to cooperate with a reasonable safety request (ie fixing the jailbreak issue). Anthropic’s reaction is very much at odds with their branding and ethos as a safe AI research community. — The Admin’s hope now is that Anthropic remediates the safety issue, the export control is lifted, and Fable goes back into general release. The Admin wants all of this to happen as soon as possible. It is frankly bewildered that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to comply with safety requests that it previously said were its highest priority. — Those trying to misdirect and tie this action to the prior DoW/Anthropic issues are wrong. The Admin values Anthropic’s technical capabilities and feels that this issue, while serious, should be easily resolved. The ball is in Anthropic’s court.

@WSJ What about other industories with foriegn customers?

@MatthewBerman Today AI, tomorrow Starlink? etc...

It was in fact Amazon (CEO Andy Jassy) who reportedly helped trigger the Claude shutdown. Via The Information Amazon CEO Andy Jassy reportedly warned senior Trump administration officials about security risks in Anthropic’s newest Claude models, helping trigger late-night export restrictions on Mythos 5 and Fable 5. "An Amazon spokesperson told The Information: “As a leading cloud provider that serves a large number of private and public sector customers, it’s not uncommon for governments to seek our counsel on potential security risks. When they occur, we don’t share the details of these discussions.”" In other words: Anthropic’s own mega-backer may have played a key role in pushing the government to freeze access to its most advanced models.

Wait - so Amazon, one of Anthropic’s biggest investors, allegedly jailbroke Claude and then snitched to the U.S. government? This cant be real. What.

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of

banning fable 5 just gave open source AI the biggest marketing campaign for free

JUST IN: Anthropic says a “huge percentage” of its own employees are now barred from accessing Fable 5 & Mythos 5 under U.S. restrictions.

@firstadopter What about any global service provided by the USA, if this, what else?

@ZackKorman Wu Wei, however, cheaper to repair a flood than a burst dam.

The US has started banning Europeans from using their latest AI models. The EU needs sovereign models that compete, otherwise we will be cut off. Mistral is perfectly positioned to deliver, European governments must choose it, and help it thrive with less burdensome rules.

Intelligence should be open, accessible, and ready to build with, empowering every developer, everywhere. GLM-5.2 is now available to all GLM Coding Plan users, including Lite, Pro, Max, and Team plans. docs.z.ai/devpack/latest… As our new flagship model, GLM-5.2 delivers powerful coding capabilities, usable 1M-context support, and continued strengths in long-horizon tasks. API and Chatbot services will launch next week. The model will also be officially open-sourced next week under the MIT License. The future of AI is open, and it belongs to the people.

It’s like poetic justice how there’s a double rainbow outside the John Kennedy Center as Trump’s name is being removed.

@a_karvonen I have 2 days before reset, 50% quota a day. I plan on using it.

@AndrewPrifer Think bigger, but yes, it's not limited to them....

Do they only hire special idiots as goverment advisors, or just yes men brown noser's? The UK, EU and the USA make brain dead tech policy moves with the pigeon confidence all the time, would be cute if it were not so darn self-destructive.

The real reason we have no Claude Fable 5.
