I’ve had a number of conversations with folks inside and outside government about the current situation with Anthropic, and here is what I believe to be true: — As we know, Anthropic publicly released its Mythos class models earlier this week under the commercial name Fable. — Fable is Mythos with guardrails. But if those guardrails fail, then you’ve exposed Mythos and its advanced cyber capabilities to people who shouldn’t have them. (Keep in mind that Anthropic itself widely promoted the idea that Mythos was a cyberweapon and needed to be regulated as such. They asked for government regulation of Mythos and championed the guardrails on Fable. If there is a vulnerability — big or small — it is Anthropic’s responsibility to patch.) — A highly credible trusted partner of both Anthropic and the USG who was testing Fable came forward with a jailbreak of those guardrails. The Admin asked Dario to fix the jailbreak or de-deploy the model. Dario refused. — In their blog post, Anthropic defended its decision by saying the jailbreak isn’t serious. That is not what the trusted partner and the USG believe; nor is that kind of minimizing language consistent with Anthropic’s brand as the AI safety company. It’s difficult to fathom how they could claim a jailbreak allowing operability of a cyber weapon could be defined as not “serious.” — In the past, Anthropic has always said that safety must be top priority and taken super seriously. In this case, Anthropic prioritized the continued offering of the consumer model over safety. — In reaction, the Admin issued the export control. The Admin did this reluctantly. It’s been very surprised that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to cooperate with a reasonable safety request (ie fixing the jailbreak issue). Anthropic’s reaction is very much at odds with their branding and ethos as a safe AI research community. — The Admin’s hope now is that Anthropic remediates the safety issue, the export control is lifted, and Fable goes back into general release. The Admin wants all of this to happen as soon as possible. It is frankly bewildered that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to comply with safety requests that it previously said were its highest priority. — Those trying to misdirect and tie this action to the prior DoW/Anthropic issues are wrong. The Admin values Anthropic’s technical capabilities and feels that this issue, while serious, should be easily resolved. The ball is in Anthropic’s court.

正確に理解してください まず、すごいサイバー能力がある、というのは Mythos Preview の話であって、Fable 5 / Mythos 5 ではないです。そのためにレッドチーミングをしましたし、多層防御も組み入れました。詳細は私のまとめを読んでください。 アメリカ政府が抜け穴があると Anthropic に伝えましたが、それは抜け穴と呼べるほどのリスクの高いものではないというのが Anthropic の見解です。Anthropic がなぜそんなことをされるのかは私はアメリカ政府の人間ではないのでわかりません。 出した本家が他の LLM も同等の能力があると認めている、というのは Fable 5 / Mythos 5 が他のモデルと同等レベルの「攻撃能力」しかないということです。つまり、GPT-5.5 で攻撃をしようとした時のリスクと Fable 5 / Mythos 5 で攻撃をしようとした時のリスクがそんなに変わらないということです。純粋な全体的なベンチマーク性能はそりゃ Fable 5 / Mythos 5 の方が高いです。

Firefighting drones are here! 🧯 This fire truck developed in China acts like a mobile drone base. Instead of relying only on hoses and ladders, it carries a full aerial deployment system built directly into the truck. On board are inspection drones for reconnaissance, firefighting drones for active suppression, and up to a ton of firefighting payload. Once on site, drones can be launched immediately to assess the situation from above, locate hotspots, and operate in areas that are dangerous or unreachable for humans. Real-time aerial data feeds back into operations, allowing faster decisions and reducing the need to send firefighters into unknown conditions. Pretty awesome application for drones. Curious if that has the potential to make a solid business case. ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news → ziegler.substack.com
