Anthropic blocks all public access to Claude Fable 5, Mythos 5 following US government order — what enterprises should do

2026-06-13

Summary

In compliance with the U.S. government's national security mandate, Anthropic has blocked global public access to its top AI models, Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5.

Key Points

Due to the U.S. government's emergency export control directive, Anthropic has immediately suspended access to the Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models.
This measure is believed to be related to the 'Pliny the Liberator' model jailbreak that exploited a security vulnerability, but Anthropic sees this as excessive regulation.
This incident shows how operationally risky it can be for companies to rely on a single AI model, and suggests the need to diversify AI models.

Anthropic Disables Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 After US Government Order

2026-06-13

Summary

Anthropic has completely discontinued its latest AI models, Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, in response to U.S. government export control orders.

Key Points

On June 12, 2026, the U.S. Department of Commerce issued an export control order for Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for national security reasons.
Anthropic found it difficult to block foreigners' access to models in real time, regardless of whether they were inside or outside the U.S., so it suspended model services for all users to ensure compliance.
Anthropic is refuting the government's actions regarding the 'jailbreak' risk raised by the government, saying that the vulnerability is common and exists in other public models.

Malware developers add nuclear and biological weapons language to spyware

2026-06-13

Summary

Cases have been reported where malware developers exploit the LLM's safety denial function and bypass security scanners by inserting phrases related to nuclear and biological weapons into spyware.

Key Points

Attackers are exploiting LLM's excessive safety sorting to create a 'secondary blind spot' that interferes with security analysis.
LLM's knowledge of nuclear weapons is already public information, and may be overestimated for the sake of AI company reputation management rather than actual risk.
Biological hazards can be a relatively more real threat than nuclear weapons.
