Anthropic's Fable 5 AI model was taken down shortly after its release due to concerns raised by Amazon regarding potential national security threats. Amazon informed White House officials about vulnerabilities in the model that could be exploited, prompting urgent discussions that led to the model's shutdown on June 9, 2026. Anthropic had previously notified the government about the release without objection. However, following Amazon's report and calls from other companies, the White House imposed export control rules on Fable and Mythos models, restricting access to foreign adversaries and some foreign nationals in the U.S. Anthropic's CEO Dario Amodei and other officials discussed the situation with the administration, arguing that the jailbreak demonstrated by Amazon did not indicate a flaw in Fable 5's safety systems. The government's actions have raised concerns about broader implications for the industry, with some experts suggesting that the response may not align with the actual findings of the report shared by Amazon.
