Summary

Following Amazon CEO Andy Jassy's discussions with US officials, the Trump administration halted foreign use of Anthropic's Fable 5 model over cybersecurity vulnerabilities, leading Anthropic to withdraw access to its Mythos and Fable models, though the company argues the vulnerabilities are basic and common.

Conversations between Amazon chief executive Andy Jassy and US officials prompted the Trump administration to halt all foreign use of Anthropic's most capable AI models. Researchers at Amazon had used a series of prompts to get Anthropic's Fable 5 model to provide them with information that could be used to aid cyberattacks. White House officials asked Anthropic to fix the vulnerabilities or take down the model. Anthropic has shut down access to its Mythos and Fable models to comply, but says that the vulnerabilities flagged by Amazon are relatively basic and that other publicly available models are also capable of discovering them.
