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.
