The US government has instructed Anthropic to cease access for foreign nationals to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 artificial intelligence models. This decision is driven by national security considerations, although specific details regarding the concerns have not been disclosed.
On Friday, Anthropic announced the export control directive, indicating that the government may have identified a method for bypassing the security measures of Fable 5. In response, Anthropic has temporarily disabled access to these models for all customers to ensure compliance.
Current Status: Anthropic is actively addressing what it believes to be a misunderstanding regarding the security concerns and is working to restore access to the affected models as soon as possible.
Implications: The suspension of access specifically impacts Fable 5 and Mythos 5, while other models offered by Anthropic remain available to users.
Next Steps: Anthropic is in discussions with the government to clarify the situation and hopes to resolve the issues promptly.
