Anthropic asked to disable Fable 5, Mythos 5 outside US

DAYS after Anthropic released its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 artificial intelligence models, the US government has ordered to suspend access to these models outside the country.

- 

Anthropic said it received the export control directive on Friday at 5.21 pm Eastern Time and immediately began taking steps to disable the models to comply with it. It said that the directive covered nations outside the US and affected access to the models. Other Anthropic models were not part of the order.

Anthropic said that the government order did not provide details about the national security concerns behind the decision. In a statement, the company said, “We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.”
