Anthropic shared a research paper on Fable 5 guardrail bypass techniques, which led to the US Secretary of Commerce issuing an export control on Fable 5 and Mythos. This action forced Anthropic to restrict access to these models. The paper detailed how models like Fable 5, Mythos, and Opus were asked to review and fix code with vulnerabilities, with Fable 5 initially refusing. The researchers then used a multi-step process to turn the model's output into scripts for testing patches, an action the author argues should not trigger export controls. AI
IMPACT Government export controls on AI models could stifle innovation and access to powerful tools.
