00:00Anthropic has cut off access to its most sophisticated AI models.
00:04It did so in recent days after an unprecedented order by the Trump administration.
00:09The government told Anthropic to cut off its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models for any foreign national, outside or
00:15inside the U.S.
00:16It cited national security concerns.
00:19Anthropic then closed both systems for all customers in order to ensure compliance.
00:24It said it believes the government's order came after discovering it's possible to jailbreak or get past Fable 5's guardrails.
00:31Fable 5 is a recently released version of Mythos that is blocked from carrying out cybersecurity tasks.
00:38Anthropic said it disagrees with the government's mood.
00:41Amazon researchers have revealed some of the vulnerabilities, according to people familiar with the matter.
00:47Both the Biden and Trump administrations have restricted access to consequential tech like semiconductors.
00:54But such rules could set a significant new precedent for all major AI model developers.
00:59That includes not just Anthropic, but rivals like OpenAI, Google, and Meta.
01:04The regulatory escalation also comes just as AI startups like Anthropic seek to become public companies.
01:11Top Anthropic representatives are discussing with officials in Washington the specific security concerns, according to people familiar with the matter.
