Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent received direct briefings from Jassy regarding the risks associated with the Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models. Following these disclosures, federal authorities moved to restrict access, citing the potential for misuse. While an Amazon spokesperson declined to confirm specific dialogue, the company acknowledged that it frequently advises government agencies on technical security threats.
David Sacks, co-chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, provided additional context, asserting that a trusted partner identified a critical jailbreak in the software. According to Sacks, the administration issued an ultimatum to Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, demanding either a patch or the immediate decommissioning of the models. Amodei reportedly declined the request, leading to the enforcement action.
