US blocks foreign access to Anthropic models after China-linked reports
Technology
The US just blocked foreign access to Anthropic's top AI models, Mythos 5 and Fable 5, after reports that a China-linked group may have accessed Mythos.
Apparently, a Discord group managed to use the model for two weeks before Anthropic shut it down, which made people question how secure these powerful AIs really are.
Anthropic downplays risk, officials nervous
Anthropic says its models aren't as risky as some claim and that China wasn't even mentioned in talks with the government.
Still, this move shows how nervous officials are getting about advanced AI falling into the wrong hands, and reminds us just how sensitive these technologies have become.
