- Anthropic disabled its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models to comply with a US export control directive limiting foreign access, per Bloomberg, SecurityWeek, and Tom's Guide, with The New Stack noting the models came down roughly three days after launch.
- Amazon CEO Andy Jassy was among tech leaders who raised security concerns about Mythos 5 with senior Trump administration officials, per The Information, a chain of events The Verge attributes to Amazon's own security research and that set the new restrictions in motion.
Why it matters: Anthropic launched Fable 5 and Mythos 5 days before the government forced them offline, handing a near-term advantage to rival AI labs whose newest models remain globally available and leaving enterprise customers mid-integration without access.
