DEVOURED
The Once And Future Fable #2
Uncertainty surrounds the US government's recent mandate for Anthropic to disable access to its Fable and Mythos systems.
What: The US government ordered Anthropic to pull access to its 'Fable' and 'Mythos' models for undisclosed reasons. The nature of the government's concern or the technical scope of the shutdown remains unknown.
Why it matters: This highlights the growing, often opaque friction between the rapid deployment of frontier AI models and the national security apparatus.
Original article

This could just be a terrible misunderstanding that can be sorted out quickly.
