You can now proactively verify your identity (with a passport or government ID) in case it’s needed for future frontier model access in Amp. We think it probably will be, and we want Amp to keep giving you access to the best models available to you. We can’t guarantee access criteria or timelines. Those depend on (highly uncertain) government and model lab policy. We don’t plan to impose any additional restrictions beyond what is required by law and the model labs. We are covering the cost for identity verification for all users, and we’re using Stripe for identity verification, so Amp stores nothing and sees only the outcome. ampcode.com/settings/identit…

Amazon CEO reportedly raised Anthropic model concerns before government crackdown techcrunch.com/2026/06/13/am…

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.

bugcrowd.com/blog/savant-bug… so the bug bounty community freaked out a few weeks ago when hackerone had a single slide that talked about using AI agents for testing based off our reports. bugcrowd's new strategy sounds even more brazen, sly and egregious. submit reports -> your "signals" (aka creative thought process and work) feed into their AI agents -> AI agents find bugs without you (unclear incentive structure). that's if the technology even works though lol. these days I have trouble even adding collaborators in reports without the app erroring out. the messaging is so much more slick too. "connect those signals" - does that mean they are training on our reports? at least whoever did this PR release was careful to not blatantly say that they are training on our reports. but lol what does connecting those signals actually mean at the end of the day? extremely unclear if they train on our reports. this requires actual transparency from both platforms, not just marketing, and messaging tactics that you use when you're trying to convince you're not a wolf in a sheeps clothing.

When I struggle to structure my thoughts about what's happening I turn to writing. Today about the recent US Anthropic ban news, what it says about power and dependency, and what it should mean for Europeans and citizens of the world. It's a long one. lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/6/13/a…

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…
