Officials representing Donald Trump met with the artificial intelligence company Anthropic to discuss a truce, with details of the meeting and its outcomes not immediately available. The meeting occurred after the administration implemented export restrictions on Anthropic's latest model, Fable 5. These restrictions followed a perceived security concern raised by Amazon, a key investor in Anthropic, which reported finding a way to bypass the model's safeguards. Anthropic argued that the security breach was minor and not a significant 'jailbreak,' but the administration's export control effectively forced the company to pull the model down entirely to comply. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was involved in earlier discussions, while Lutnick, who oversees export policy, became more involved over the weekend.
