The U.S. government has ordered Anthropic to suspend access to its Claude Fable and Mythos AI models due to national security concerns regarding potential jailbreaking vulnerabilities.

The U.S. government issued an emergency export control directive on Friday ordering Anthropic to immediately suspend access to its two most powerful artificial intelligence models—Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5, both released just days earlier —for all foreign nationals, including the company's own employees, citing national security concerns.
The article presents both the government's security concerns and the company's rebuttal in a balanced, factual manner without loaded language.
