Anthropic Shuts Down Its Fable and Mythos AI Models After US Government Order
Ars Technica·Monday, 15 June 2026
Anthropic has shut down access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models after a directive from the Trump administration's Commerce Department. The government is worried that a jailbreak of Fable 5 could pose a national security threat. Reports suggest the decision was partly triggered by Amazon's cybersecurity research and a conversation between CEO Andy Jassy and the White House.
Why It Matters
This is a rare case of a government directly ordering an AI company to take its own products offline — it signals how seriously the US is treating AI as a national security issue.
