US Authorities Press Anthropic to Withdraw AI Models Over Security Concerns
A source familiar with the matter told the outlet that US officials contacted the company at 1 p.m. ET and ordered it to roll back the models, citing what they described as a “national security threat,” though no specific details were provided. The source added that Anthropic had already completed pre-release testing with government agencies and had received approval to deploy the Fable model.
The source said the company immediately sought clarification on the nature of the alleged threat in order to address any concerns.
By 5:30 p.m. ET, the US Commerce Department reportedly sent a formal letter introducing restrictions on where and by whom the models could be used, which led Anthropic to begin withdrawing the systems, according to the news agency.
The reported move reflects growing government scrutiny of advanced AI systems amid broader concerns over national security and emerging technologies.
