🛡 US Restricts Access to New Anthropic Models
Through the BIS, the US Department of Commerce has ordered Anthropic to restrict foreign nationals' access to the Mythos 5 and Fable 5 models. This follows a "narrow jailbreak" incident that revealed vulnerabilities during code patching. Authorities applied the ECRA, classifying remote access to hosting as a "deemed export."
🌍 This incident sets a precedent for using export legislation to control cloud access to AI. This could lead to strict licensing of frontier models and slow down global technological development.
👤 Access to powerful models may become fragmented and depend on citizenship rather than just technical parameters or subscriptions.
