Anthropic suspends latest AI models after US blocks access to foreigners
George Hammond in San Francisco and Joe Miller in Washington
TL;DR
- Anthropic suspended its most powerful AI models, Mythos 5 and Fable 5, for all users.
- The US government directed Anthropic to limit access for foreign nationals due to national security concerns.
- The directive followed the discovery of a "jailbreak" bypassing the models' safety guardrails.
- Anthropic stated the order was based on a "misunderstanding" and will halt new model deployments across the industry.
- The Trump administration had previously experimented with Anthropic's Mythos model.
