Trump administration blocks Anthropic's AI model release for second time
By
The Economist
Toasted just enough. A reliable bake, gently seasoned.
Summary
The Trump administration blocked Anthropic's release of Fable, a constrained version of its Mythos LLM capable of superhuman hacking feats. This follows a similar action four months prior. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei had just called for more serious AI regulation, but the administration's response was described as capricious and chaotic, leaving America's closest allies shellshocked.
