关于 Anthropic 与白宫之间 AI 新博弈的所有新闻
Anthropic was already navigating one dispute with the government in its standoff with the Pentagon, and then came an order on June 12th to block off foreign access to its most recently released AI models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5. When they launched on June 9th, Anthropic said “Fable 5’s capabilities exceed those of any model we’ve ever made generally available,” and that Claude Mythos 5 had the same underlying model, “but with the safeguards lifted in some areas.”
Anthropic 此前已因与五角大楼的对峙而陷入与政府的纠纷,随后在 6 月 12 日又接到了一项命令,要求其阻止外国用户访问其最新发布的 AI 模型 Fable 5 和 Mythos 5。在 6 月 9 日发布这些模型时,Anthropic 曾表示:“Fable 5 的能力超过了我们以往公开发布的任何模型”,并称 Claude Mythos 5 拥有相同的底层模型,“但在某些领域取消了安全防护措施。”
According to reports, the order came after conversations between Amazon and the White House about researchers saying they found ways to get Fable 5 to serve information that could be used in cyberattacks.
据报道,该命令是在亚马逊与白宫进行沟通后下达的,此前有研究人员称他们发现了让 Fable 5 提供可用于网络攻击信息的方法。
Anthropic responded by shutting access to both models for all customers, saying, “We are complying with the government’s legal directive and are removing access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all users. However, we disagree that the finding of a narrow potential jailbreak should be cause for recalling a commercial model deployed to hundreds of millions of people.”
Anthropic 对此作出的回应是关闭了所有客户对这两个模型的访问权限,并表示:“我们正在遵守政府的法律指令,并取消所有用户对 Fable 5 和 Mythos 5 的访问权限。然而,我们不同意将发现的微小潜在越狱风险作为召回已部署给数亿人的商业模型的理由。”
Today, 6:10 PM UTC: Trump’s Anthropic shutdown just made the case for non-American AI
今日,UTC 下午 6:10:特朗普政府对 Anthropic 的封锁进一步证明了非美国 AI 的必要性
At Washington’s request, Anthropic suddenly took its newest and most powerful AI models offline over the weekend. The American company said it had little choice after the White House demanded it block access for all foreign nationals, including its own employees. Abroad, the incident offered a sobering reminder that the US not only dominates frontier AI — its government also wields power over who gets to use it.
应华盛顿方面的要求,Anthropic 在周末突然将其最新、最强大的 AI 模型下线。这家美国公司表示,在白宫要求其阻止所有外国公民(包括其自身员工)访问后,他们别无选择。在海外,这一事件令人清醒地意识到,美国不仅在尖端 AI 领域占据主导地位,其政府还掌握着谁能使用这些技术的权力。
The Trump administration’s action was swift, sweeping, and imposed with little warning or explanation. The unprecedented shutdown of the Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models — which were already subject to safeguards limiting their use in “high-risk areas” — that followed gave new force to long-running arguments cautioning against relying on the US for critical technologies. It was fresh ammunition for the politicians, governments, and companies already arguing that they need to lead in the technology themselves.
特朗普政府的行动迅速且全面,且几乎没有发出任何警告或解释。随后,Fable 5 和 Mythos 5 模型被史无前例地关闭(这些模型此前已受到限制其在“高风险领域”使用的安全防护措施),这进一步强化了长期以来关于警惕依赖美国关键技术的论点。对于那些已经在主张必须自主掌握该技术的政客、政府和公司来说,这无疑是新的弹药。
Jun 14: China may have accessed Mythos
6 月 14 日:中国可能已经访问了 Mythos
According to a new report from Semafor, the White House’s decision to impose export restrictions on Anthropic’s Mythos was driven in part by fears that it had been accessed by a group linked to China. If the Chinese government actually had access to Mythos 5 or Fable 5, it would present a serious national security risk. The government could also attempt to reverse engineer the model through distillation, a method in which a “student” AI is trained on a more advanced model to replicate its behavior.
根据 Semafor 的一份新报告,白宫决定对 Anthropic 的 Mythos 实施出口限制,部分原因是担心该模型已被与中国有关联的组织访问。如果中国政府确实能够访问 Mythos 5 或 Fable 5,这将构成严重的国家安全风险。中国政府还可能尝试通过“蒸馏”(distillation)技术对模型进行逆向工程,这是一种通过更先进的模型训练“学生”AI 以复制其行为的方法。
The White House has not confirmed this report, and a post on X by Trump adviser David Sacks did not mention China. Instead, Sacks focused on a reported ability for Fable and Mythos to be jailbroken, something that Anthropic has denied. Anthropic has not replied to a request for comment, though a spokesperson told Semafor that the government did not bring up China during its discussions around export controls.
白宫尚未证实这一报道,特朗普顾问大卫·萨克斯(David Sacks)在 X 上发布的帖子中也未提及中国。相反,萨克斯重点关注了有关 Fable 和 Mythos 可以被“越狱”的报道,而 Anthropic 对此予以否认。Anthropic 未回复置评请求,但一位发言人告诉 Semafor,政府在讨论出口管制时并未提及中国。
Jun 13: Amazon security research reportedly led to the White House’s Anthropic Fable ban
6 月 13 日:据报道,亚马逊的安全研究导致了白宫对 Anthropic Fable 的禁令
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安迪·贾西(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,他们能够让 Fable 5 提供可用于网络攻击的信息。亚马逊尚未回复置评请求。
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.
在贾西与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,这意味着他们也被禁止访问自己的产品。
Jun 13: Anthropic cuts off Fable 5 and Mythos 5 access following government order
6 月 13 日:Anthropic 在政府命令下切断了 Fable 5 和 Mythos 5 的访问权限
On Friday evening, the government ordered Anthropic to block access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all foreign nations, both inside and outside the US, due to national security concerns. That order included employees of Anthropic. To meet those demands, the company has completely cut off access to the models for all customers.
周五晚上,政府以国家安全为由,命令 Anthropic 阻止所有外国公民(无论是在美国境内还是境外)访问 Fable 5 和 Mythos 5。该命令包括 Anthropic 的员工。为了满足这些要求,该公司已完全切断了所有客户对这些模型的访问。
In a statement, Anthropic said that while it was complying with the order, the government “did not provide specific details of its national security concern.” Instead, it claims that any evidence of potential jailbreak was provided verbally, and that the vulnerabilities discovered were minor and available via other models, including GPT 5.5.
Anthropic 在一份声明中表示,虽然公司正在遵守该命令,但政府“并未提供其国家安全担忧的具体细节”。相反,Anthropic 声称,任何关于潜在越狱的证据都是口头提供的,且所发现的漏洞很小,通过包括 GPT 5.5 在内的其他模型也能实现。
Jun 9: Anthropic releases its first Mythos-class model Claude Fable
6 月 9 日:Anthropic 发布首款 Mythos 级模型 Claude Fable
Anthropic just announced Claude Fable 5, a new AI model it said is the most powerful model it has ever made widely available. According to the company, Fable 5 “shows exceptional performance in software engineering, knowledge work, and vision,” with its lead over other models growing as tasks become longer and more complex.
Anthropic 刚刚发布了 Claude Fable 5,这是一款新的 AI 模型,公司称其为迄今为止最强大的公开发布模型。据该公司称,Fable 5 “在软件工程、知识工作和视觉方面表现出色”,随着任务变得越来越长、越来越复杂,它相对于其他模型的领先优势也越来越大。
