The US government’s Anthropic models ban was never about an AI jailbreak
Summary
The Trump administration recently forced Anthropic to take its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models offline using an obscure export control directive, citing unspecified national security concerns. While Anthropic suspected a guardrail bypass, cybersecurity experts argue that the vulnerability was not significant enough to warrant such drastic action. Observers suggest the move was likely retaliatory, stemming from political friction between the administration and Anthropic, setting a concerning precedent for government interference in the tech industry.
