Anthropic withdraws top AI models after US security objections
Anthropic has withdrawn access to its most advanced AI models following security concerns expressed by the US government. The US authorities issued an export ban on the company's Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models, meaning no foreigners, in the US or elsewhere, even those working at Anthropic, can use the models legally. Anthropic says this means it must block use of the models for everyone in order to ensure compliance. Its other models are unaffected.
