White House Suspected of China Link in Anthropic AI Export Restrictions

A new report suggests the White House imposed export restrictions on Anthropic’s powerful AI, Mythos, due to fears it was accessed by a China-linked group. If the Chinese government accessed Mythos, it would pose a significant national security risk. Anthropic denies a reported ability for Fable and Mythos to be jailbroken, and the company has not commented on the report. This is not the first breach of Anthropic’s most powerful model, as a Discord group had access for two weeks before being cut off.
