US government forces Anthropic to pull two AI models over security concerns; debate erupts over motives
By
Theresa Loconsolo
Summary
The US government forced Anthropic to remove its two newest AI models (Fable 5 and Mythos 5) over national security concerns after Amazon researchers reportedly found a way to bypass Fable 5's guardrails. Cybersecurity researchers have signed an open letter calling the move dangerous, and Anthropic noted similar jailbreaks exist in other models. The TechCrunch Equity podcast discusses whether this is a genuine security concern or another chapter in Anthropic's tense relationship with the Trump administration, and what the ban means for developers and the company's IPO prospects.
