Anthropic's most powerful models, Mythos and Fable, were taken offline after the Trump administration imposed stringent export controls, following claims that Anthropic failed to "honor" a recent cyber executive order. An administration official stated, "Everybody said Anthropic was a bad actor... They screwed us." On Thursday, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy called Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent expressing concerns that Mythos and Fable could be jailbroken. The administration official said Anthropic knew a jailbreak could happen and chose to distribute it anyway. Anthropic says it received explicit approval from the government to deploy Fable. The administration first threatened Anthropic with export controls a couple of weeks ago after learning that Mythos was made available to an entity in a foreign country with direct ties to the Chinese Communist Party. A source close to Anthropic said the company revoked Mythos access without the threat of export controls. A source familiar with the administration's thinking said Anthropic's "position at the outset was no, we're not going to do anything, this is not a real issue." A White House official said, "We never wanted this to happen. Our number one priority is innovation but our hands were tied."
