The US government has issued an export control directive forcing Anthropic PBC to suspend all foreign access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 artificial intelligence models. The Trump administration declared the models security risks, prompting the firm to disable access on Friday.
The directive bans all foreign nationals from using the models, including Anthropic's own foreign employees. The Commerce Department expressed concerns that a jailbreak of Fable 5 could pose a national security threat.
In response to the action, Anthropic has characterized the government's position as a misunderstanding.
