TechCrunch reports that the U.S. government ordered Anthropic to immediately disable Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 worldwide, citing national security concerns. Anthropic says the order appears tied to a claimed narrow jailbreak of Fable 5, but argues the cited capability is already common in other public models. The move highlights a potential backlash against Anthropic’s safety-first messaging around especially powerful AI systems.
TechCrunch reports that the U.S. government has ordered Anthropic to immediately shut off access to two of its most powerful AI models, Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5. According to the article, Anthropic said it received the directive on Friday at 5:21 p.m. ET and complied, disabling both models for all users worldwide. The order was framed as an export control action aimed at restricting foreign national access, but the practical effect was broader: the models were turned off globally, while Anthropic’s other models remained available.
