00:00Stop scrolling! An AI model called Fable 5 was released on Tuesday. By Friday, the U.S. government had banned
00:08it. Here is what happened.
00:10Fable 5 is Anthropics' most powerful AI model yet. The company called it the most powerful model we have ever
00:16made generally available.
00:18It can code for days, solve complex scientific problems, and handle tasks no previous model could sustain.
00:24On June 12, the U.S. government issued an emergency directive. It requires Anthropics to block all access to Fable
00:325 by any foreign national, including foreign national employees at Anthropics.
00:36The government cited a potential jailbreak that could allow cyber attacks on critical infrastructure. But here is the twist. Anthropics
00:44is fighting back.
00:45They called it a misunderstanding and are working to restore access. They say the capability the government is worried about
00:52is already available in other models, including OpenAI's GPT 5.5, which is used every day by cybersecurity defenders.
01:00Anthropics warns that if the government applies this standard across the industry, it would essentially halt all new model deployments
01:07for all frontier model providers.
01:09They also revealed that pre-launch testing ran for thousands of hours with the U.S. government, and no tester
01:15found a universal jailbreak.
01:17Comment below, should the government have the power to ban an AI model?
