Anthropic Disables Advanced AI Models Following US Government Order
AI company Anthropic has announced it will "abruptly disable" its most advanced AI models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5, for all users. This action comes after the US government issued an export control directive ordering the suspension of access for foreign nationals, citing national security concerns. The government reportedly believes these models' safeguards could be bypassed and potentially exploited to identify software vulnerabilities.
Artificial intelligence firm Anthropic is set to disable its highly advanced AI models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5, for all users. The company stated this decision was made in response to a direct order from the US government.
The directive, an export control order, mandates that Anthropic suspend access to these specific models for all foreign nationals. The US government cited national security concerns as the primary reason for its intervention.
According to Anthropic, the government holds the belief that the safeguards implemented within these advanced AI products could potentially be circumvented. This circumvention, the government suggests, could lead to the models being utilized to identify vulnerabilities in software systems.
Anthropic confirmed that it received the export control directive, which specifically targets Fable 5 and Mythos 5. The company stated that it was not provided with specific details regarding the national security concerns that prompted the order.
