The directive barred all foreign nationals from accessing Fable 5 and Mythos 5, prompting Anthropic to take both models offline entirely. The shutdown was triggered after a jailbreaker known as 'Plenty the Liberator' bypassed Fable's safety classifiers using techniques like unicode obfuscation, roleplay framing, and large-context confusion. Anthropic initially refused a takedown request but complied after the government order. The incident marks the first time a major AI company has pulled a live public model at federal direction, sparking developer backlash and speculation about whether it was a calculated pre-IPO publicity move. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
