New update on Fable 5: and it's less about jailbreaks than anyone initially thought. Via Axios The Axios story that just dropped today reframes the whole thing: Anthropic hired a cybersecurity expert to review Amazon's findings and push back on the government's narrative. The administration viewed her as a "radical Democrat." She was then publicly celebrated by Chris Krebs, the official Trump just fired. That didn't help. Behind the scenes, officials describe a company that simply doesn't know how to talk to this administration. "It's like they just speak different languages," one source said. "Everybody said Anthropic was a bad actor. Some of us said it was time to give them a chance. Now those people are questioning that. They screwed us." Today: Anthropic staffers meet with Commerce, the CIA, and White House science advisor Michael Kratsios to work through compliance with the cyber executive order. The technical question - can Fable 5 be jailbroken - is almost secondary now. This is a story about a company that keeps losing the room. Ill keep you updated.

New Politico reporting fills in the 24 hours behind the Fable 5 / Mythos 5 shutdown, and it's messier than the press releases. And two sides contradict each other. - The first alarm to the White House came from Amazon CEO Andy Jassy (The Information confirmed that yesterday), who flagged that Fable's guardrails could be bypassed. - He was answering a government request for feedback, and per Politico he wasn't the only one. By Friday it had reached Bessent, Cyber Director Cairncross and Commerce Sec Lutnick, who pulled Amodei into three calls. - From there the two sides don't agree on anything. The White House says export controls were a last resort after hours of trying to get Anthropic to cooperate. -Anthropic's camp says it got a 90-minute deadline to kill the models, no threat detail, no offer to work it out. Officials were reportedly stunned that Amodei, who has compared his own tech to a nuclear bomb, wouldn't pull it over a known hole. I assume that Anthropic will release more information on Monday and further strengthen their position.
