I’ve had a number of conversations with folks inside and outside government about the current situation with Anthropic, and here is what I believe to be true:

— As we know, Anthropic publicly released its Mythos class models earlier this week under the commercial name Fable.

— Fable is Mythos with guardrails. But if those guardrails fail, then you’ve exposed Mythos and its advanced cyber capabilities to people who shouldn’t have them. (Keep in mind that Anthropic itself widely promoted the idea that Mythos was a cyberweapon and needed to be regulated as such. They asked for government regulation of Mythos and championed the guardrails on Fable. If there is a vulnerability — big or small — it is Anthropic’s responsibility to patch.)

— A highly credible trusted partner of both Anthropic and the USG who was testing Fable came forward with a jailbreak of those guardrails. The Admin asked Dario to fix the jailbreak or de-deploy the model. Dario refused.

— In their blog post, Anthropic defended its decision by saying the jailbreak isn’t serious. That is not what the trusted partner and the USG believe; nor is that kind of minimizing language consistent with Anthropic’s brand as the AI safety company. It’s difficult to fathom how they could claim a jailbreak allowing operability of a cyber weapon could be defined as not “serious.”

— In the past, Anthropic has always said that safety must be top priority and taken super seriously. In this case, Anthropic prioritized the continued offering of the consumer model over safety.

— In reaction, the Admin issued the export control. The Admin did this reluctantly. It’s been very surprised that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to cooperate with a reasonable safety request (ie fixing the jailbreak issue). Anthropic’s reaction is very much at odds with their branding and ethos as a safe AI research community.

— The Admin’s hope now is that Anthropic remediates the safety issue, the export control is lifted, and Fable goes back into general release. The Admin wants all of this to happen as soon as possible. It is frankly bewildered that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to comply with safety requests that it previously said were its highest priority.

— Those trying to misdirect and tie this action to the prior DoW/Anthropic issues are wrong. The Admin values Anthropic’s technical capabilities and feels that this issue, while serious, should be easily resolved. The ball is in Anthropic’s court.

I want to say a final thing about my Fable first reaction: I dedicated my life to programming and I'll use every innovation in the field, also to extract value and bring it to the local inference world, to Redis, and so forth. But:

🚨 SCOOP: Anthropic is gearing up for the public launch of a new version of Mythos, better than Mythos Preview.

A checkpoint of the model, codename Oceanus, was made available to red teamers yesterday. These programs typically begin 7 days before the wider launch, I am told.

The program has since been paused, presumably due to an individual in the program reselling it via a Chinese API proxy (as reported by @scaling01). But whether this will impact the launch target is unknown.

Work continues on GPT-5.6! Earlier today a significantly better new checkpoint was made available internally

@JeffBezos This is how you get a populace that views the productive segment as a piñata to be looted and mercilessly exploited.

People need to have skin in the game for the game theory and incentives to work. Otherwise it directly leads to AOC/Mamdani/Chavez style confiscatory socialism.

“According to DeepSeek’s data, DeepSeek V4 is about as capable as Opus 4.6 and GPT-5.4, which were released about 2 months ago. However, CAISI’s evaluations, which include non-public benchmarks, indicate that DeepSeek V4 performs similarly to GPT-5, which was released about 8 months ago.”

Israel has a complicated relationship with Russia, premised on Israel needed to mitigate the harm from Russia's alliances with Syria (until recently) and Iran. Ukraine, meanwhile, was a consistent vote against Israel in international fora, and Israel owes its government nothing, though Israel has broadly speaking been on Ukraine's side during the war.

@EVKontorovich Since 10/7 we now know that when it come to international law there are two sets of laws. International law and Jew Crow laws.

European partners import fish, tomatoes and more from Western Sahara, but will sanction Israel for what is said to be Donbass grain?

[Eugene Kontorovich @EVKontorovich]

Zelensky's beef is wrong as a matter of international law. In cases of territorial disputes, or even clear belligerent occupation, there is no requirement on third countries to boycott goods from the occupied territory. Thus the EU imports tomatoes from Western Sahara & cheese from Northern Cyprus. Many countries have imported phosphates from W.Sahara. Israel certainly has no duty to make inquiries into the political status of goods imported in its ports.
