Amazon security research reportedly led to the White House’s Anthropic Fable ban
Summary
Cybersecurity research conducted by Amazon, which reportedly demonstrated that Anthropic's Fable 5 model could be prompted to reveal information useful for cyberattacks, is said to have influenced the White House's decision to ban foreign nationals from accessing Fable 5 and Mythos 5. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy shared these findings with the White House, leading to an export control directive. This directive has impacted Anthropic's foreign-born researchers, barring them from their own product. Anthropic disputes the government's characterization of the issue as a "jailbreak," suggesting similar vulnerabilities exist in other public models like GPT 5.5 and that the White House's past disagreements with the company might have played a role in the decision.
