Anthropic disabled its Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models following a US government export control order [1][3]. Officials cited national security concerns after discovering potential vulnerabilities that could allow users to "jailbreak" the systems [1]. These advanced models currently remain offline for users worldwide [1][3].
The unprecedented intervention sparked intense debate regarding government control over commercial AI deployment [1]. International partners expressed concerns as the ban further strained existing global alliances [2]. Anthropic suspended all access to the affected models shortly after receiving the federal directive [3].
