Senator Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) has voiced support for the Trump administration's decision to request Anthropic suspend access to its latest artificial intelligence models, citing significant security concerns. Kelly stated that models like Fable 5 and Mythos 5 possess concerning capabilities to access federal and financial systems, emphasizing the need for extensive evaluations before their release.
Anthropic complied with the administration's directive, removing access to the Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models on Saturday. This action was in line with an executive order signed by President Trump earlier in the month, which called for AI companies to voluntarily grant government oversight of new systems prior to public deployment. While Anthropic lauded the executive order's principles, the company argued that the request to pull back its models did not adhere to those outlined oversight principles.
