It is claimed that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy was influential in closing Anthropic’s new model, Claude Fable 5, to foreigners.
Anthropic announced that it has blocked the access of its newly introduced Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 models to foreign users, in accordance with the instructions from the US government. The company stated that this decision was taken within the scope of an export control directive based on national security powers.
Access to these models for all foreign nationals within or outside the USA has been suspended. Anthropic stated that it thought this was a misunderstanding and that it was continuing its efforts to restore access.
Influence of Amazon CEO in the Process
According to the new arguments put forward, senior executives, including Amazon CEO Andy Jassy, had a significant influence in blocking access to Claude Fable 5. It is claimed that executives conveyed their concerns directly to the Trump administration after determining that the model carried significant risks in terms of cyber security.
According to the information shared by WSJ, Amazon researchers managed to obtain sensitive information that could help cyber attacks in their tests on Fable 5. Following these dangerous findings, it is stated that Andy Jassy reported the situation to the authorities and facilitated the rapid closure of the model.
Background to Security Risks and Arguments
Amazon, which has invested billions of dollars in Anthropic, has not yet made an official confirmation about the investigation in question. Company officials emphasized that all Claude models, except Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5, will continue to be available for use.
Cyber security experts state that large language models facing such restrictions may indicate a new era in the technology world. Governments’ intervention in artificial intelligence models with export control directives causes the security standards in the department to be reviewed again.
It remains a matter of curiosity how long Anthropic will implement this restriction and what path future updates will follow.
