Why did the US government restrict the latest model of AI Anthropic?

Anthropic said the US government issued a national security notice restricting foreign access to two of its latest AI models, the Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, without specifying the nature of the security risk. However, the company said the government was concerned about how cyber attackers could potentially exploit the technology, although the government offered “only verbal evidence” of such risks. This risk, Anthropic said, also applies to other models, including OpenAI. But it noted that while it supports the government’s ability to flag and block security risks, “this action does not follow those policies.”
