What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The U.S. government issued an export control order following senior Trump administration officials being informed by Amazon CEO Andy Jassy about Anthropic’s most advanced AI models. The order required Anthropic to pull Fable 5 and Mythos 5 globally. The government cited a claimed 'jailbreak' vulnerability as the reason for the action, though Anthropic disputes this framing.
