the commerce department is lifting export controls on anthropic's fable 5 and mythos 5 models after the company agreed to strengthen technical safeguards against jailbreaks, particularly for cybersecurity capabilities. the decision, to be communicated by commerce secretary howard lutnick to cofounder tom brown, resolves a dispute where the administration previously ordered the suspension of foreign national access. anthropic reversed its previous stance that jailbreaks were unavoidable to secure the release, now promising robust restrictions. this highlights the government's willingness to restrict model deployment based on national security concerns and sets a precedent for regulatory negotiations over advanced ai access.
