Amazon voiced concerns about Anthropic AI models before US government's ... Audio By Carbonatix By Stephen Nellis June 13 (Reuters) – Amazon CEO Andy Jassy was among tech leaders who raised concerns to senior Trump administration officials this week about security risks in Anthropic’s most advanced AI models, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters. Jassy’s involvement sheds light on the extraordinary move by Anthropic on Friday to shut down its latest models globally in response to national security orders from the Trump administration. The San Francisco-based AI startup, which has confidentially filed for a U.S. initial public offering, had previously warned about the hacking capabilities of its Mythos model and held it back from wide release, but earlier this week Anthropic rolled out a public version, called Fable, with what it described as cybersecurity safeguards. That brief release ended on Friday. In a blog post, Anthropic said the U.S. government told the company it believes there is a method of bypassing, or “jailbreaking,” a safeguard against using the model to find cybersecurity holes. The bypass found only “minor” security flaws that other publicly availa…

Amazon Research Triggered White House Anthropic Ban Anthropic has instituted a global shutdown of its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models following a sudden export control directive from the Trump administration. Reports indicate Amazon CEO Andy Jassy triggered the federal response after sharing internal research showing that the AI could be manipulated to assist with cyberattacks. Anthropic has strongly pushed back against the severity of the security claims, while policy experts warn that the broad restrictions could disrupt vital research collaborations with international allies. The AI industry experienced a massive shockwave when Anthropic abruptly shut down worldwide access to its two most advanced models, Claude Fable and Mythos 5 . Everything pointed to last-minute findings by an external team that led to the decision. Now, a fresh report suggests the catalyst for the Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 ban came from Amazon, which ironically is one of Anthropic’s primary financial backers. According to a Wall Street Journal report, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy personally spoke with senior Trump administration officials, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, to raise urgent cybersecurity…

Amazon CEO’s conversation with US officials that led to Anthropic's Fable 5 ban Amazon's research reportedly influenced the US government's decision to block foreign access to Anthropic's advanced AI models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5. CEO Andy Jassy allegedly informed officials that Amazon researchers found ways to extract sensitive information, potentially aiding cyberattacks, from these models. Anthropic stated the vulnerabilities exposed were minor and publicly known.

Amazon's Stance on AI Security Risks - GV Wire Amazon CEO Andy Jassy was among tech leaders who raised concerns to senior Trump administration officials this week about security risks in Anthropic’s most advanced AI models, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters. Amazon did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Citing national security concerns, the Trump administration on Friday directed Anthropic to block any foreign nationals, whether inside or outside the U.S., from using its latest models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5. In response, Anthropic said it would disable access to the models globally. In a blog post, Anthropic said on Friday that the U.S. government believes there is a method of bypassing, or “jailbreaking,” a safeguard that would prevent Fable 5 from being used in identifying software vulnerabilities, the company said. The U.S. government restrictions came in the form of an export control, Anthropic said in its blog post. The U.S. Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security, which oversees export controls, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Some experts who favor export controls on advanced AI models found the Trump admi…

How Amazon and the White House ended Anthropic's Fable Anthropic's much-anticipated, powerful Fable 5 AI model lasted just days in the public's hands, after an urgent report from Amazon triggered a scramble inside the White House that ended in a dramatic Friday night takedown. The episode highlights the administration and industry's reactionary approach to a technology that is moving at breakneck speed. It raises questions about why Amazon would strike such a disruptive blow against a company in which it is a major investor. It also extends a long-running battle between the Trump administration and the company over what its models can do and how they can be used — offensively as well as defensively. Amazon called administration officials Thursday night to share a report showing how they were able to jailbreak and access portions of Anthropic's powerful new Mythos model that pose a national security threat, sources familiar told Axios. Anthropic had previously notified the government multiple times about the planned June 9 release of Fable — which is a general-use version of Mythos —and the government did not object, a source close to the company said. But calls from Amazon —…

Why some analysts see more behind ban on Anthropic's latest AI models than an ‘Amazon complaint’ US officials reportedly banned Anthropic's AI models due to communication failures and perceived disregard for cyber orders, not just Amazon's warning. Concerns over a potential China-linked leak of the Mythos model and past Pentagon clashes also fueled mistrust. Anthropic faces meetings to address compliance and security vulnerabilities.
