The U.S. government has imposed export controls restricting foreign access to Anthropic's latest artificial intelligence (AI) models due to national security concerns.
On June 12, Anthropic announced that the U.S. government had issued guidelines prohibiting foreign access to its new AI models, 'Fable 5' and 'Mythos 5.'
This measure applies not only to foreigners outside the U.S. but also to foreign nationals residing within the country. However, existing AI models from Anthropic are exempt from these regulations.
Fable 5 is based on the previously limited 'Mythos Preview,' which excels in detecting and exploiting cybersecurity vulnerabilities, but has been released with security-related restrictions. In contrast, Mythos 5 is an unrestricted version of the same base model, available only to select participants in the 'Project Glasswing.'
While the U.S. government has cited national security as the reason for this action, it has not disclosed specific details or concerns behind the decision.
Anthropic has expressed its intention to comply with the government’s directives but has also voiced opposition to the decision. The company stated, "We do not agree with the assertion that a few potential escape techniques warrant the withdrawal of a commercial model used by millions. This approach will ultimately stifle the release of new models by all advanced AI developers."
