Anthropic downplays security risks of ‘Mythos’ and ‘Fable’ AI models after ban — prompting scorn from White House officials

Anthropic is downplaying risks that led the White House to ban foreign use of its powerful “Mythos” and “Fable” AI models – and US officials claim it’s proof that CEO Dario Amodei has a one-sided, self-serving approach when it comes to cybersecurity. Late last week, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy reportedly alerted the Trump administration that its researchers had managed to “jailbreak” Fable – or bypass its safety guardrails – in a way that could threaten national security. The White House responded by slapping Mythos and Fable with export controls – restrictions that prevent the models from being used by foreign nationals and customers outside the US.
