By Friday, they&#8217;d been pulled.<\/p>\n<p>The Wall Street Journal reported their withdrawal was kicked off by conversations on Thursday last week between Amazon CEO Andy Jassy and U.S. officials, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Jassy raised the possibility that the models could be jailbroken, and by Friday evening the Commerce Department told Anthropic that its models would be subject to export controls. These controls prohibit the models from being used by any foreign national, regardless of whether they are inside or outside of the U.S. <\/p>\n<p>To ensure compliance, Anthropic cut off access to the two models for all of its customers.<\/p>\n<p>The role of jailbreaks in all of this is important to understand. <\/p>\n<p>Mythos 5 and Fable 5 are actually the same underlying model. In essence, Anthropic slapped some stricter guardrails on Mythos 5, changed its name to Fable and made it available for general use. <\/p>\n<p>If a user submitted a prompt to Fable related to cybersecurity, chemistry, biology, or model distillation, the guardrails would kick queries down to Opus 4.8, a less-capable model. Mythos 5 has drastically fewer safeguards but is available only to Project Glasswing participants, a select group of cyber defenders. <\/p>\n<p>At first glance, this release strategy makes sense as a way to manage the risks of deploying advanced models. However, as Risky Business Technology Editor James Wilson points out in this podcast, the strategy relies on these guardrails actually being effective. If Fable&#8217;s guardrails were susceptible to a universal jailbreak, then all Mythos 5 capabilities would be available to anyone with access to Fable 5.<\/p>\n<p>So, to reassure everyone, when Anthropic announced Fable 5, it described the model&#8217;s&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawfaremedia.org\/article\/anthropic-lacks-emotional-intelligence\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anthropic Lacks Emotional Intelligence | Lawfare https:\/\/www.lawfaremedia.org\/article\/anthropic-lacks-emotional-intelligence Publish Date: 2026-06-19 13:53:00 Source Domain: www.lawfaremedia.org Anthropic&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":276604,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/lawfare-assets-new.azureedge.net\/assets\/images\/default-source\/article-images\/ai_artificial_intelligence_concept_(52917075159).jpeg?sfvrsn=30f1fe1b_4","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[20],"class_list":["post-276603","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276603"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=276603"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276603\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":276605,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276603\/revisions\/276605"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/276604"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=276603"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=276603"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=276603"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
