Anthropic Says It’s Taking Claude Fable 5 Offline to Comply With US Government Order

Anthropic 宣布下架 Claude Fable 5 以遵守美国政府指令

Anthropic says it’s disabling two AI models it launched earlier this week, Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, to comply with an export control directive it received Friday afternoon from the US government citing national security concerns.

Anthropic 表示,为遵守周五下午收到的一项以国家安全为由的美国政府出口管制指令,公司将停用本周早些时候发布的两个 AI 模型:Claude Fable 5 和 Mythos 5。

The unprecedented incident marks the latest flashpoint between Anthropic and the Trump administration. While the company says the order asked it to suspend access to “any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees,” it has removed access for all of its customers to ensure compliance.

这一史无前例的事件标志着 Anthropic 与特朗普政府之间最新的冲突点。尽管该公司表示,该指令要求其暂停向“任何外国公民(无论身处美国境内还是境外,包括 Anthropic 的外籍员工)”提供访问权限,但为了确保合规,公司已对所有客户关闭了访问权限。

Earlier this year, Trump’s Department of Defense labeled Anthropic a “supply chain risk” after the Claude-maker sought to draw red lines over how the US military could use its technology. The designation effectively barred government agencies and contractors from using Anthropic’s technology. Anthropic responded by filing lawsuits against the Trump administration.

今年早些时候,在 Anthropic 试图为其技术在美军中的使用划定红线后,特朗普领导的国防部将 Anthropic 列为“供应链风险”企业。这一认定实际上禁止了政府机构和承包商使用 Anthropic 的技术。对此,Anthropic 采取了法律行动,起诉了特朗普政府。

On Tuesday, Anthropic publicly released Claude Fable 5, a version of the company’s Mythos AI model with safeguards that prevent it from answering questions about cybersecurity, biology, and chemistry. Prior to the public release, which Anthropic said it had conducted in collaboration with the US government, the Mythos Preview AI model had a limited rollout in April. The goal was to give companies and organizations an opportunity to use its powerful cybersecurity capabilities to improve their defenses, and stem concerns that the technology could be exploited by bad actors to develop powerful hacking tools.

周二,Anthropic 公开发布了 Claude Fable 5,这是该公司 Mythos AI 模型的一个版本,内置了防止回答有关网络安全、生物学和化学问题的安全防护措施。在这次 Anthropic 声称与美国政府合作进行的公开发布之前,Mythos 预览版 AI 模型已于 4 月进行了有限范围的投放。其目标是让企业和组织有机会利用其强大的网络安全能力来加强防御,并消除人们对该技术可能被不法分子利用来开发强大黑客工具的担忧。

In a blog post on Friday, Anthropic says it received a letter from the US government at 5:21 pm ET. “The letter did not provide specific details of its national security concern,” Anthropic wrote. “Our understanding is that the government believes it has become aware of a method of bypassing, or ‘jailbreaking’ Fable 5,” the company added. “We reviewed a demonstration of this specific technique being used to identify a small number of previously known, minor vulnerabilities. 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.”

在周五的一篇博客文章中,Anthropic 表示其在美东时间下午 5:21 收到了美国政府的一封信函。“信中并未提供有关国家安全担忧的具体细节,”Anthropic 写道。“据我们了解,政府认为他们发现了一种绕过或‘越狱’ Fable 5 的方法,”该公司补充道。“我们审查了该技术的演示,它被用于识别少量已知的小型漏洞。这些漏洞看起来都相对简单,我们发现其他公开可用的模型无需绕过限制也能发现它们。”

In the blog post, the company argued that it has implemented strong safeguards to reduce the likelihood of Claude Fable 5’s misuse. Anthropic also claimed that the jailbreak the US government found for Claude Fable 5 was narrow, and would not have made an attacker meaningfully more dangerous than they would have been with another AI model.

在博客文章中,该公司辩称其已实施了强有力的安全防护措施,以降低 Claude Fable 5 被滥用的可能性。Anthropic 还声称,美国政府发现的针对 Claude Fable 5 的越狱方法范围有限,并不会使攻击者比使用其他 AI 模型时更具威胁性。

“To date, the government has only given us verbal evidence of a potential narrow, non-universal jailbreak, which essentially consists of asking the model to read a specific codebase and fix any software flaws,” the company said in its blog post. “Our understanding is that one potential jailbreak was shared with the government.”

“迄今为止,政府仅向我们提供了关于潜在的、有限的、非通用越狱方法的口头证据,其本质是要求模型读取特定的代码库并修复软件缺陷,”该公司在博客中表示。“据我们了解,有一个潜在的越狱方法已被分享给政府。”

Spokespeople for the White House and US Commerce Department did not immediately respond to WIRED’s request for comment.

白宫和美国商务部的发言人没有立即回应《连线》(WIRED)的置评请求。

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said in a policy essay earlier this week that he and the company support a fair, structured, and transparent government process that would block the release of unsafe AI models. In the company’s blog post on Friday, Anthropic argued that “this action does not adhere to those principles.”

Anthropic 首席执行官 Dario Amodei 在本周早些时候的一篇政策文章中表示,他和公司支持建立公平、结构化且透明的政府流程,以阻止不安全 AI 模型的发布。在周五的博客文章中,Anthropic 指出:“此次行动并不符合这些原则。”
