Full Analysis

The recent suspension of access to the artificial intelligence models Claude Fable 5 and Mythos by Anthropic has shaken the tech industry. This decision, imposed by the Trump administration, stems from an alert raised by Amazon.

An Amazon Alert Triggers Government Intervention

According to the Wall Street Journal, researchers at Amazon discovered how to bypass the protections of Claude Fable 5, potentially enabling cyberattacks. This discovery was reported to officials in the Trump administration, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, leading to an immediate restriction of access for non-Americans, whether they are residents in the United States or abroad. Access was cut off on Friday evening, just days after Claude Fable 5 had been made available to the public.

Mixed Reactions from Amazon and Anthropic

Amazon, a shareholder in Anthropic, responded cautiously. A spokesperson stated that the company is often consulted by governments on security issues, without disclosing the details of the discussions. Reuters and The Information confirm that Amazon has expressed its concerns to the U.S. executive.

For its part, Anthropic, led by Dario Amodei, criticized this decision in a blog post. The startup believes that a minor flaw should not justify the withdrawal of a widely distributed model. It fears that such a norm, if generalized, could stifle innovation in the field of advanced models.
