The US Banned Anthropic's Fable 5 Release, but the Numbers Don't Seem to Care★ 75
TechCrunch AI·5 hours ago·Regulation
The US government compelled Anthropic to withdraw its two newest models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5, citing national security concerns after Amazon researchers allegedly found a way to bypass Fable 5's safety guardrails. Cybersecurity researchers responded with an open letter calling the ban itself dangerous, while Anthropic argued the same jailbreak techniques exist in competing models. Despite the forced pullback, usage numbers appear to show continued demand for the models.
