The US government has issued an export control directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5, citing national security concerns and a potential jailbreak method. This directive has forced Anthropic to disable access to these models for all customers to ensure compliance. The government's concern stems from a potential technique that could allow users to circumvent some narrow safeguards for Fable 5. ## What happened The US government issued an export control directive to Anthropic, citing national security authorities and a potential jailbreak method for Fable 5. The directive instructed Anthropic to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for any foreign national, including foreign national Anthropic employees. Anthropic received the directive and reviewed a demonstration of the potential jailbreak technique, which identified a small number of previously known, minor vulnerabilities. The company found that other publicly-available models are able to discover these vulnerabilities as well without requiring a bypass. Anthropic had implemented strong safeguards to reduce the likelihood of Fable 5's misuse, including a defense in depth strategy and thorough monitoring to quickly detect and shut down any successful attacks. ## Why it matters The US government's directive has significant implications for the development and deployment of AI models. The suspension of access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 may impact Anthropic's customers and partners who rely on these models for various applications. The government's concern about the potential jailbreak method highlights the ongoing debate about the risks and benefits of AI and the need for effective safeguards to prevent misuse.
