Anthropic<\/a> is meeting with White House officials this week in an attempt to overturn a ban on its most advanced AI<\/a> models, which was reportedly put in place after Amazon<\/a>\u2019s CEO spoke with members of the Trump administration.<\/p>\n

The US government told the artificial intelligence company to suspend all use by foreign nationals of its Mythos 5 and Fable 5 models last week, citing \u201cnational security\u201d concerns.<\/p>\n

The ban includes foreign national Anthropic employees, according to the firm, meaning the Claude creator was forced to \u201cabruptly disable\u201d the models for all customers in order to ensure compliance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government believes it has become aware of a method of bypassing, or \u2018jailbreaking\u2019 Fable 5,\u201d Anthropic said in a statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe disagree that the finding of a narrow potential jailbreak should be cause for recalling a commercial model deployed to hundreds of millions of people.\u201d<\/p>\n

The decision by the Trump administration to enforce the ban came after Amazon CEO Andy Jassy spoke with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent<\/a> and other US officials, according to the Wall Street Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Amazon researchers had flagged the jailbreak issue noted by Anthropic in its statement, prompting Mr Jassy to reportedly warn that it could be used to carry out catastrophic cyber attacks.<\/p>\n

The Independent has reached out to Amazon for comment.<\/p>\n

Tech entrepreneur David Sacks, who serves as an advisor to the Trump administration, said on Saturday that the jailbreak warning had come from a \u201chighly credible trusted partner\u201d of both Anthropic and the US government.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Admin asked Dario [Amodei, Anthropic CEO] to fix the jailbreak or de-deploy the model. Dario refused,\u201d Mr Sacks wrote in a post to X<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the past, Anthropic has always said that safety must be top priority and taken super seriously. In this case, Anthropic prioritized the continued offering of the consumer model over safety.\u201d<\/p>\n

A separate report from Semafor<\/a> claimed that the White House\u2019s decision to ban foreign use of Mythos was also driven by fears about Chinese access to the AI tool.<\/p>\n

Anthropic prohibits access to its AI models from within China, with a spokesperson for the firm claiming that the US government had not raised any concerns about Mythos being used by any specific adversaries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Anthropic’s logo pictured on 11 June, 2026 (Reuters) Anthropic is meeting with White House officials this week in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":74217,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[321,53,25,1559,6409,40857,4862],"class_list":["post-74216","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-anthropic","tag-amazon","tag-anthropic","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-dario","tag-david-sacks","tag-foreign-nationals","tag-white-house"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74216","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=74216"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74216\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/74217"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=74216"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=74216"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=74216"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
