Just three days after the <\/span>launch of Fable 5<\/span>, a nerfed version of the much-feared Mythos, Anthropic was forced to take it offline.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a blog post published Friday, the company said it had been ordered by officials in the Trump administration to halt access to Fable\u2014and another, less widely available model called Mythos 5\u2014for all foreign nationals both in and outside the United States, including the company\u2019s own employees.

Later <\/span>reporting<\/span> from <\/span>The Information<\/span> revealed that the Trump administration\u2019s decision was motivated at least in part by earlier conversations between Amazon CEO Andy Jassy and government officials, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Jassy reportedly told the officials that internal researchers at Amazon had been able to prompt Fable to generate sensitive information that could be used by hackers to bypass the company\u2019s cybersecurity systems, prompting a meeting between the officials. The directive to Anthropic to restrict foreigners from accessing the models was signed off by President Trump<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pointing fingers<\/h3>\n

In an X post on Saturday, White House science and technology advisor David Sacks said the government issued its order to Anthropic \u201creluctantly,\u201d and only after company CEO Dario…<\/span><\/p>\n
