US Government Forces Anthropic to Disable Fable 5 & Mythos 5 Models for Foreign Nationals
“The US just ordered Anthropic to brick its newest models worldwide. Even some of Anthropic's own engineers got locked out.”
Why It Matters
Governments treating frontier models like export-controlled munitions with citizenship-based kill switches; concrete regulatory overreach changing who can access cutting-edge AI.
Evidence
Anthropic official statement/blog, Reuters, Fortune, Guardian, CNN, WIRED. Anthropic says the US Commerce Department issued an export-control directive suspending access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, including Anthropic's own foreign-national employees. Anthropic says it must disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all customers to ensure compliance.
Caveat
Needs careful wording around "jailbreak" and national-security rationale; stick to the official directive and sourced reporting.
