Experts Urge Trump Administration to Lift Anthropic AI Restrictions
Anthropic said the shutdown followed a Commerce Department export-control order and criticism from researchers who argued Fable 5’s hacking abilities were not unique.
- On Friday, the Trump administration imposed export controls on Anthropic's Fable, prompting the company to suspend access to both Fable and Mythos models for all users.
- The White House acted after reports from Amazon allegedly showed Fable could be jailbroken to discover security vulnerabilities within days of its public release.
- Anthropic and cybersecurity experts argue the model is not uniquely dangerous, noting similar capabilities exist in GPT, Claude Opus, and Claude Sonnet models that remain unrestricted.
- On Monday, 76 cybersecurity experts signed a letter to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and National Cyber Director Sean Cairncross warning the restrictions have "taken the best models away from defenders" and damaged American AI leadership.
- Critics note Chinese AI models are "only months behind the best American models," arguing broad restrictions could halt new deployments without addressing actual national security risks.
