The Government Just Killed the World's Most Powerful AI in 3 Days

Over the weekend the U.S. government shut down Anthropic's most powerful AI just three days after launch — and almost nobody's talking about it. Here's the breakdown: Anthropic released Claude Fable 5, a "Mythos-class" model more capable than anything they'd shipped before. Then Amazon — Anthropic's own $8 billion backer — jailbroke it and took the flaw straight to the White House. By Friday, Commerce had issued an export-control directive banning every foreign national from using it, including Anthropic's own employees. Anthropic pulled the model worldwide. The bigger story: export controls aren't just about chips going to China. They cover physical materials, technical data, and documents — the rules a lot of businesses already live under. This time the target was a commercial chatbot, and the precedent isn't going away. #AI #Anthropic #Claude #ExportControls #Amazon #TechNews #ArtificialIntelligence #FarPointGlobal #Shorts
