Conversation Between Amazon CEO and US Officials Triggers Crackdown on Anthropic Models

The Trump administration has decided to block overseas use of Anthropic's top-tier models (such as Mythos and Fable). This was triggered after Amazon CEO Andy Jassy informed US officials that Amazon researchers had obtained information that could be used for cyberattacks through Anthropic's Fable 5 model.

The White House determined that blocking model access for foreign governments, companies, and individuals was the most direct way to resolve the security risk, and President Trump approved this measure. As a result, Anthropic has blocked all user access to these models to comply with regulations, and internal operations are also facing disruptions, such as the exclusion of foreign-born researchers from work on the latest models.

Anthropic has countered that the vulnerability in question is relatively basic and can also be found in other public models. However, this incident is being evaluated as a case demonstrating the strengthening of US government control over the AI industry and the potential politicization of AI technology. In particular, this measure is expected to have a significant impact on Anthropic's upcoming IPO (Initial Public Offering) schedule and market share.
