Anthropic export limits tied to suspected Chinese access: Report

TL;DR

  • Anthropic has blocked public access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models.
  • The Trump administration imposed export restrictions on these models due to security concerns.
  • A key reason for the restrictions was the suspicion that a China-linked group accessed the Mythos 5 model.
  • Concerns were also raised about a method to "jailbreak" the models' security features.
  • White House AI czar David Sacks stated that Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei refused the administration's request to "fix the jail-break or de-deploy the model."
  • The restrictions prohibit access by customers outside the U.S. and foreign nationals within the U.S.
