The Trump administration has de-escalated a confrontation with AI company Anthropic. Previously, export controls were imposed on Anthropic's Mythos AI model due to security concerns. These controls led to the shutdown of Mythos and its related model, Fable 5. Warnings from companies like Amazon highlighted the risk of these models being "jailbroken" for malicious use. The administration's recent letter to Anthropic is silent on Fable 5's release. However, discussions suggest Fable may also be released, though the timeline is uncertain. This situation signals the development of a new regulatory approach for advanced AI models. This new regime would grant the US government oversight on the release of frontier AI models. The author criticizes this as an ad hoc and potentially disastrous regulatory framework, especially under the current administration. The author expresses incredulity that Howard Lutnick appears to be making these critical AI policy decisions.
