Amazon voiced concerns about Anthropic AI models before US government's crackdown: Report
Anthropic said it will disable access globally after the U.S. government cited national security concerns and ordered foreign nationals blocked from its latest models.
On Friday, the Trump administration directed Anthropic to block foreign nationals from using its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models, citing national security concerns following discussions with Amazon CEO Andy Jassy.
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raised security risks regarding the advanced AI models to Trump administration officials earlier this week, prompting the government's swift intervention.
Anthropic stated Friday the government fears a "jailbreaking" method could bypass safeguards preventing Fable 5 from identifying software vulnerabilities, prompting export controls.
In response to the directive, Anthropic announced it would disable access to the Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models globally, complying with export controls.
Jimmy Goodrich, a senior fellow at the University of California's Institute for Global Conflict and Cooperation, called the action "not well thought-out" because it restricts Canadians and Brits employed at Anthropic.
The US government has blocked non-Americans from using an advanced AI tool. Now a Swedish researcher is calling for a major investment in a European language model – otherwise our competitiveness will be threatened.
