the us government forced anthropic to suspend its mythos 5 and fable 5 models via export controls, signaling a new era of aggressive federal intervention in ai capabilities.
the us commerce department threatened anthropic with export controls unless it disabled access to mythos 5 and fable 5, compelling the company to shut down the newly hyped models for foreign nationals worldwide. ceo dario amodei engaged in urgent negotiations with top officials including secretaries scott bessent and howard lutnick, but the directive stood, effectively killing the products' immediate availability. this intervention, triggered by concerns over safety bypasses, suggests the government is now willing to unilaterally halt the release of frontier ai models based on perceived security risks.
