AI summary

The US government ordered Anthropic to block access to its AI models Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all foreign nationals, citing national security concerns. To comply, Anthropic suspended access to these models for all users globally, including its own employees outside the US. The directive stemmed from reports of a possible jailbreak by a Chinese group, which Anthropic had reportedly declined to fix.

How outlets framed it

US sources emphasize the government's national security rationale and the jailbreak concern, often noting Anthropic's compliance but disagreement. The Chinese report highlights the broad impact on foreign nationals including Anthropic's own foreign-born employees and founders, while a US article frames the event as strengthening India's argument for sovereign AI. French and Portuguese outlets present the directive as a straightforward export control, and Japanese coverage includes Anthropic's characterization of the order as a 'misunderstanding' with hopes for early restoration.
