Anthropic Suspends Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI Models Following US Export Control Directive
Anthropic has suspended access to its advanced AI models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5, following a US government export control directive citing national security concerns. The order requires blocking all foreign nationals, including Anthropic employees without US citizenship, from using these models. The government cited a potential method to bypass safeguards, or "jailbreak," Fable 5, though Anthropic disputes the severity and calls the directive a misunderstanding. Other Anthropic models remain unaffected as the company seeks to restore access while complying with the order amid ongoing tensions with US authorities.
