Trump admin bans foreign access to anthropic AI models over national security fears

• The US government banned foreign nationals from using Anthropic's advanced AI models, Mythos 5 and Fable 5, citing "national security" concerns.
• Anthropic was forced to disable these models for all customers, including its own foreign national employees, to comply with the directive.
• The ban by the Trump administration reportedly followed Amazon CEO Andy Jassy's discussions with US officials, where he raised concerns about a "jailbreak" vulnerability in Fable 5.
• Anthropic disputes the government's decision, arguing that a "narrow potential jailbreak" should not lead to the recall of a widely deployed commercial model.
• Tech entrepreneur David Sacks criticized Anthropic for prioritizing its commercial offering over safety, while another report indicated fears of Chinese access to the AI tool also contributed to the ban.
