Summary
The move comes after Anthropic’s receipt of a US Commerce Department directive Friday evening, subjecting the new models to export controls restricting their use anywhere outside the United States. An Axios report cited an administration official saying that the administration is concerned by reports of a jailbreak that reportedly gets around broad classifier-based safeguards meant to block Fable 5 prompts regarding cybersecurity, chemistry, and biology. In its Friday night announcement post, Anthropic said the government has only provided it with “verbal evidence of a potential narrow, non-universal jailbreak” that involves getting Fable 5 to review a specific codebase for software flaws. “We are complying with the government’s legal directive and are removing access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all users,” Anthropic writes.
