Claude Fable + Mythos 5 is BANNED!

**Julian Goldie** (0:00)
Claude, Mythos, Fable-5, and Mythos-5 just got shut down peeps. If you haven't seen this already, it's breaking news. And essentially what's happened here is that due to security situations, the US government has actually shut down and suspended access to Fable-5 and Mythos-5 by any foreign national, whether inside the United States or outside, including, and this is applicable to Anthropic employees, which is pretty wild right there. So what has happened is that Claude have actually pulled Mythos-5 from their model list. If you're using it previously, you shouldn't have access to it anymore.
If you're outside the US. So let me give you an example. Now, I seem to still have it when I go over here, which is strange. Let me just test if it works. That's going to be strange if it's not working, if it is working. Wow, it's still available, which is strange. I don't really understand what's going on, but the official statements are that the US government directive has pulled it, has shut it down, as you can see right here. And basically, this means that they've abruptly disabled Fable-5 and Mythos-5 for everyone, which is pretty wild. So it seems, I mean, if you have a look here, they've not actually said that it's just applicable to certain people. They've said that they've disabled it for all, all users and people using Claude and Mythos-Fable-5, which is pretty wild. So they received the notification at 5:21 p.m. And that is Eastern Time on June the 12th. Didn't provide any specific details of why, but this is pretty crazy. So they believe that the government has been aware of some people like bypassing Fable-5 and they've reviewed demonstrations on this technique being used as well.
So this is pretty wild. And yeah, so Star Wolf says, you know, wow, maybe someone figured out how to use it in another harness. Who knows what's going on? But that is, I mean, that's big like that. This doesn't happen every day.
I mean, I know they had a situation similar to this earlier this year, but nothing really happened as a case of that. But this is the first time in history I have ever seen this happen. And that's big news. That is big, big news. I just opened up Twitter and AI Twitter is exploding with news about this and the effect of it and what's happening here. So what this essentially means is that for non-US people, they can't access Fable-5 or Mythos. But as a result of that, I think it's going to be like too hard for Claude to sort of monitor that and figure out, okay, who's US and who's non-US. And so they've just basically pulled it down for everyone, which is pretty wild. Now, they said they apologize for the disruption and they believe it's a misunderstanding and they're working to restore it as soon as possible. But right now, no one can use it. No one can use it according to the update. But again, if I go to Claude here, we still got access. So I don't know what's going on here, whether there's been a new announcement. Let's just have a look here. Is anything new just come out or what's going on here? Now, so this, and by the way, this was just announced one hour ago. You can see the announcement right here. One hour ago, this came out. So pretty, pretty crazy times there peeps.
Again, never seen that before. So let's have a look and see what they're announcing here. So they said, Anthropics posture with respect to Fable safeguards is the following. So they've added strong safeguards to Fable so that it can't be used for the wrong stuff. In the weeks leading up to this, Anthropic actually worked with the US and the UK and multiple private third party organizations and internal teams to basically add those safeguards. And that took like thousands of hours in total work. They've also said these tests showed that Fable safeguards are substantially more effective than those of any previously deployed model.
No testers have been able to find a way to bypass it yet. And they suspect that perfect resistance for this sort of stuff is not currently possible for any model provider. Basically, what they're saying here is like, you know, you can't stop this stuff from happening. Some people will bypass it. And that's not possible. So that's why they adopted a different strategy with Fable-5.
And they stand by that strategy. By the way, this is the first time I'm reading it. This is brand, brand, brand news. We're all learning together here. So I'm sorry if I haven't explained it as well as I possibly could do. They have not even received a disclosure of a concerning situation as well, which is pretty interesting too.
