Anthropic’s safety warnings may have just backfired — the government has pulled the plug on its most powerful AI

The US government has disabled access to Anthropic’s most powerful AI models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5, following a directive citing national security concerns over potential jailbreaks and cyber misuse. Anthropic expressed frustration via a blog post, stating they disagree that a narrow potential jailbreak should justify recalling a commercial model already deployed to hundreds of millions of people. The company maintains that the government's safety warnings have effectively backfired in this specific instance.
