Pulled from the oven just right. Trustworthy, fact-dense, deeply satisfying.
Summary
The U.S. government ordered Anthropic to shut down access to two of its most powerful AI models (Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5) over national security concerns related to a potential jailbreak vulnerability. Anthropic complied with the order but publicly disagreed, arguing that a narrow jailbreak finding shouldn't warrant recalling a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. The directive affects all users worldwide, not just foreign nationals targeted by export controls.
