White House Forces Anthropic to Pull Mythos & Fable 5 Worldwide in 90 Minutes
The script recounts how Anthropic’s private security-focused model Mythos and its public, guardrailed version Fable 5 were taken offline worldwide after the Trump administration ordered Anthropic to block all foreign nationals—including non-citizen staff—from using them, with one report saying the shutdown happened within 90 minutes. It describes a weekend escalation beginning with Fable 5’s public launch, an Amazon-discovered jailbreak reported by CEO Andy Jassy, and a White House “fix it or pull it” demand using export-control-style rules typically reserved for weapons. Reporting from Semaphore suggests unconfirmed White House concerns that a China-linked group may have accessed Mythos, raising fears of “distillation” to copy capabilities. The narrator frames this as evidence AI is now treated like critical power infrastructure and urges business owners to adopt practical, publicly available AI tools, promoting the AI Profit Boardroom.
