White House Forces Anthropic to Pull Fable via Export Controls in 24-Hour Sprint

A frenetic 24-hour sequence of calls between Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and senior U.S. officials led the White House to impose export controls on Anthropic’s newly released AI model Fable (and Mythos 5) over concerns about guardrails and potential bypasses. Amazon raised safety concerns, discussions intensified at the highest levels, and officials ultimately pressured Anthropic to remove the model from public access to address vulnerabilities, signaling a swift regulatory response aimed at national security while balancing innovation.
