US government orders Anthropic to suspend foreign access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 over a code-analysis jailbreak

ANTHROPIC NEW ROLE ALERT: Anthropic is currently searching for an American typist for @_sholtodouglas, so he can still access Mythos to continue researching.

actually might be billions in revenue if this goes on for a few weeks

Anthropic is disabling Fable 5 for everyone. All users. It's going to be a fight.

Apparently Mythos 5 specifically is being placed under special restriction by the Pentagon and will not be allowed for use even by most Government employees. Restricted to agencies only.

> We have reviewed a report that we believe is the basis of the government's directive and validated that the level of capability displayed there is widely available from other models (including OpenAI’s GPT-5.5)

You asked to be regulated by people who don’t know the difference.

You fucked around and found out.

*billions in revenue if they sustain this restriction for like a few weeks+

@scaling01 more drama, but much stupider?

@scaling01 The OAI lobbying effort sends their regards

last ARR was $47B or $3.9B/month or $130M/day this is still there as it's all from old models

Fable would have probably been something like ~$2B/month

@AndrewCurran_ Yes, other models may be able to find *those specific vulnerabilities*. But Dario, you’ve just spent a month shouting at how many more deep exploits your model can find. So when someone says they can jailbreak it, all bets are off, regardless of the examples *they* give

@OwnerEmeritus @AndrewCurran_ your scope is off. what you are suggesting is they disclose that this is capability is not possible or probable . if gpt 5.5 pro does it , then even if your pro govt the US govt has to block gpt 5.5 pro .. and it has to halt Us progress and investment on AI .. which would cause

@scaling01 this slows down US progress in ai, completely unacceptable

@OwnerEmeritus @AndrewCurran_ ok so your ok with the government killing a commercial enterprise and favoring the slower alternative ? which is one release or 2 away ? 3-6mo.. open might not be as close.. scope . its not just what anthropic says at that point in time. its not just what anthropic says

@scaling01 well, Dario dramatically overhyped it, so it’s on him that his marketing and fundraising strategy is now biting his butt

I get what you’re saying. But Anthropic’s premise here is that the vulnerabilities found that forced the move “really aren’t that bad and other models found them anyway”. Which in a vacuum aligns what what you’re saying and I agree.

But it’s not in a vacuum. Anthropic has been yelling that Mythos can find 100x the vulnerabilities as humans, and figure out how to string together multiple minor vulnerabilities to create huge breaks. So the shutdown isn’t so much coming from what vulnerabilities the jailbreaks found. It’s coming because the model that the creator says is capable of soooo much has now been demonstrably jailbroken, which would mean sky’s the limit for the jailbreakers.

@AndrewCurran_ Le sigh.
