Anthropic shuts down Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export‑control warning
Anthropic disabled access to its Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 models after the Trump administration, via the Commerce Department, warned that foreign nationals could exploit the systems. The move followed alerts from Amazon and other firms about a potential jailbreak that could aid cyber‑security attacks. Anthropic declined the administration’s request for a voluntary shutdown but complied with the order.

OpenAI Is Offering Europe Access to Its Cybersecurity AI Model. But Anthropic Is Holding Out
OpenAI announced it will grant the European Union access to its new cybersecurity AI model, GPT‑5.5‑Cyber, through a limited preview for vetted cybersecurity teams, governments and EU bodies.
