Anthropic Suspends Fable and Mythos Access Following US Government Directive

Anthropic has announced the immediate suspension of access to its Fable and Mythos AI models. This decision comes in direct response to an export control directive issued by the U.S. government. The directive mandates restrictions on access for any foreign national, regardless of their location, including Anthropic's own foreign national employees. The government's order reportedly referenced instances of Fable jailbreaking as a contributing factor. Anthropic, however, has publicly expressed disagreement with the government's rationale, stating that while they support the ability to block unsafe deployments, the current action lacks transparency, fairness, clarity, and technical grounding.
