Amazon security research reportedly led to the White House’s Anthropic Fable ban

据报道，亚马逊的安全研究促成了白宫对 Anthropic Fable 的禁令

CEO Andy Jassy spoke with officials about security concerns shortly before the export control directive. 在出口管制指令发布前不久，首席执行官 Andy Jassy 就安全问题与政府官员进行了沟通。

According to the Wall Street Journal, the export control directive that led to Anthropic cutting off access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 was triggered in part by cybersecurity research from Amazon and conversations between CEO Andy Jassy and the White House. According to the report, the paper from Amazon claims that, through a series of prompts, it was able to get Fable 5 to serve up information that could be used in cyberattacks. Amazon has yet to respond to a request for comment. 据《华尔街日报》报道，导致 Anthropic 切断 Fable 5 和 Mythos 5 访问权限的出口管制指令，部分是由亚马逊的网络安全研究以及首席执行官 Andy Jassy 与白宫之间的对话所引发的。据报道，亚马逊的论文声称，通过一系列提示词，他们能够诱导 Fable 5 提供可用于网络攻击的信息。亚马逊尚未回应置评请求。

Shortly after Jassy shared the company’s findings with the government, it made the call to block its use by foreign nationals. Complicating this issue is that many of Anthropic’s researchers are foreign-born, meaning they were barred from accessing their own product. 在 Jassy 向政府分享了公司的研究结果后不久，政府便决定禁止外国公民使用该模型。使问题复杂化的是，Anthropic 的许多研究人员都是外籍人士，这意味着他们被禁止访问自己开发的产品。

In a statement, Anthropic disputed the government’s characterization of the issue as a “jailbreak.” It argued that many of the same vulnerabilities could be discovered using other publicly available models, including GPT 5.5. Some security researchers appear to back the company’s interpretation. Katie Moussouris, the founder and CEO of LutaSecurity posted on BlueSky that “I’ve seen the paper. It’s not a jailbreak.” Former Commerce Department official Kate Koren speculated to the WSJ that the White House’s dislike of Anthropic may have influenced the decision. Anthropic 在一份声明中反驳了政府将此问题定性为“越狱”（jailbreak）的说法。该公司辩称，许多相同的漏洞也可以通过其他公开模型（包括 GPT 5.5）发现。一些安全研究人员似乎支持该公司的解读。LutaSecurity 的创始人兼首席执行官 Katie Moussouris 在 BlueSky 上发文称：“我看过那篇论文，那不是越狱。”前商务部官员 Kate Koren 向《华尔街日报》推测，白宫对 Anthropic 的反感可能影响了这一决定。

Anthropic and the Trump administration have been at odds for some time over the company’s refusal to allow its AI to be used for mass surveillance of Americans or to power lethal autonomous weapons. In February, Trump instructed federal agencies to stop using Anthropic’s AI. And just hours later, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth designated the company a supply chain risk. 由于 Anthropic 拒绝将其人工智能用于对美国民众进行大规模监控，也拒绝将其用于致命性自主武器，该公司与特朗普政府之间已产生分歧一段时间。今年 2 月，特朗普指示联邦机构停止使用 Anthropic 的人工智能。仅仅几个小时后，国防部长 Pete Hegseth 就将该公司列为供应链风险对象。

The government and the company seemed to have made amends, and the two had worked together to expand access to Mythos. However, now the two seem destined to clash again. 政府与该公司似乎曾达成和解，双方还曾合作扩大对 Mythos 的访问权限。然而，现在看来，双方注定将再次发生冲突。
