Government Orders Anthropic to Turn Off AI Models

Anthropic is a famous AI company. Last week, they launched two new models. These models were Fable 5 and Mythos 5. Many people were excited to use them. However, something changed on Friday night. The company suddenly turned off both models. This happened because the US government sent a special directive. The Commerce Department is worried about national security. They think the models have a problem. There are reports of a jailbreak. A jailbreak is when a user skips the safety rules. If people do this, they can ask dangerous questions. They can ask about biology or chemistry. They can also ask about computer security. An official from the Trump administration spoke about this. The government wants to fix the security apparatus. They need a few weeks for this work. Anthropic decided to disable the models immediately. They want to follow the government’s rules. But the company does not agree with the government. They think the jailbreak is very small. They said that other models like GPT-5.5 have the same skills. Anthropic apologized to its customers. They called this a disruption. They also said there was a misunderstanding. This month, President Trump signed an executive order. He wants AI companies to test their models for safety. Anthropic says they will give more information soon. They plan to post more details in the next 24 hours. For now, Fable 5 and Mythos 5 are not available. Other Anthropic models are still working normally. Users are waiting for more news about these smart computers. It is a very busy time for technology and laws in the United States.
