In response, the company suspended access to the models to all users worldwide.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of this writing, the letter is signed by 76 cybersecurity experts, including Alex Stamos, former <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> chief of security; Casey Ellis, the founder bug bounty platform Bugcrowd; Jon Callas, famed cryptographer and former <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">App<\/a>le security design and architecture manager; Paul Vixie, computer scientist ; Dino Dai Zovi, the former head of applied security engineering at Block; Katie Moussouris, the founder of Luta Security; and Rachel Tobac, the CEO of the security awareness training firm SocialProof Security.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When Mythos launched as a preview in April, Anthropic claimed it was so powerful at finding security vulnerabilities that the company needed to tightly restrict access to prevent malicious hackers or foreign adversaries from using it to cause havoc on the internet. In practice, that meant Anthropic gave around 50 companies initial access to Mythos, recently expanding that group to include around 150 organizations in 15 countries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last week, Anthropic released Fable, a public version of Mythos that the company said had strict guardrails to block its use in the fields of biology, chemistry, and cybersecurity, as well as to stop others from distilling the model in order to re-create it. The guardrails on Fable were so strict that many cybersecurity experts found that it stopped essentially any prompts related to cybersecurity.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anthropic said that the White House export control order may have been based on a report that there was a method to bypass \u2014 or jailbreak \u2014 Fable to unlock its powerful Mythos-level capabilities.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-block block--callout block--right has-green-500-background-color\">\n<h4 class=\"block--callout__title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Contact_Us\"><\/span>Contact Us<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>\t\t\tDo you have more information about the Amazon paper that prompted the ban?

Instead, she wrote, the researchers simply asked Fable to fix open source code with public and known vulnerabilities along with \u201cdeliberately planted vulnerabilities,\u201d after the model initially refused to \u201creview the code for security issues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe behavior described in the paper cannot meaningfully be fixed, and any attempt would only weaken the model for defense,\u201d Moussouris wrote. \u201cDefenders need to be able to ask AI to fix the bugs in a file, explain why the fix matters, and write tests that confirm the patch works. That is not a guardrail bypass. It is the most valuable thing an AI model can do for defensive security: executing the find, fix, and test loop defenders run every day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moussouris\u2019 critique was echoed in the open letter, which also said that the group of experts believe the method in the Amazon paper \u201ccan be replicated\u201d on OpenAI\u2019s GPT-5.5, on Anthropic\u2019s own publicly available Claude Opus 4.8 and Sonnet, \u201cand even Chinese models like Kimi 2.7.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The letter also asked for transparently and fairly enforced regulations created by \u201ca democratic rule-making process\u201d that are based on scientific research done by industry and academic experts, and \u201cused only to the minimal extent necessary to ensure the safety of the American public.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em>When you purchase through links in our articles, we may earn a small commission.
