Anthropic suspends new AI tools over US government security concerns

"We reviewed a demonstration of this specific technique being used to identify a small number of previously known, minor vulnerabilities," Anthropic said."These vulnerabilities all appear relatively simple, and we have found that other publicly-available models are able to discover them as well without requiring a bypass."Ahead of the release of Claude Fable 5, the company touted various "safeguards" it had implemented to prevent cyber hacking.Finance, technology and government leaders had expressed concerns about its public rollout, following a private release in April for previewing and testing vulnerabilities within its own system.Anthropic said it enabled pre-release access for a handful of organisations because the tool was so intelligent that it could be dangerous because of its ability to exploit or hack computer systems.The company self-proclaimed that it was "too powerful to release" before Claude Fable 5 was publicly released, which some critics questioned as inflated hype and marketing spin."Fable's capabilities exceed those of any model we've ever made generally available," the company said.Anthropic has found itself in the crosshairs of the Trump administration recently.
