  • The company’s powerful AI models, Mythos and Fable, were removed from the internet after export controls were applied.
  • Amazon raised concerns that Mythos and Fable could be “jailbroken,” meaning hacked to bypass controls.
  • Anthropic said it had approval to release the Fable model, but the government disagreed and acted.
  • The disagreement was partly due to poor communication and different perspectives between Anthropic and the administration.
  • The government was worried Mythos was shared with a group linked to the Chinese Communist Party.
