Anthropic blocks most advanced AI models after US bars foreign use
Anthropic said it blocked its most advanced artificial intelligence models for public use after the U.S. government banned their use by foreigners.
TL;DR
- Anthropic has blocked public access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models.
- The U.S. government issued a directive banning foreign nationals from using these models.
- The ban was reportedly due to concerns about a method to bypass the models' security features.
- Anthropic claims this is the only way to comply with the government's legal directive.
- The company disagrees with the government's assessment, downplaying the severity of the 'jailbreak' concern.
- Anthropic suggests this standard could halt new model deployments across the industry.
- Access to other Claude models is expected to remain unaffected.
- This marks another clash between Anthropic and the U.S. government over AI regulation.
