I didn’t follow the news continuously enough to know what 5:21 or your comment meant.

Background reading:

https://www.anthropic.com/news/fable-mythos-access

tl;dr: Anthropic supports government centralized government control over models, Amazon produced a probably bogus request to pull down Mythos and Fable, so Trump pulled it down.

It’s probably bogus because no evidence of effective jailbreaks were provided, and also Fable/Mythos isn’t any more capable than OpenAI’s pre-jailbroken 5.5 offering, making it a moot point.

Anthropic can put it back up once they institute citizenship checks for their customers and ban any foreign nationals they employ from using it.

(All of the above according to Anthropic)

I’ll editorialize and say that this is blatant illegal retaliation on the part of the admin, and also that anthropic brought it on themselves with their “this model will kill us all” Mythos marketing stunt.

I guess in this story, Amazon is the useful pawn/idiot. Maybe it’ll go Shakespearean, and we’ll get some lowbrow comic relief from Bezos.
