Anthropic Restores Claude Fable 5 After U.S. Lifts Jailbreak-Linked Export Controls

An eighteen day government ordered blackout of a frontier model because researchers found a way to trick it into writing exploit code is the kind of story that would have sounded like fiction two years ago. Anthropic's pushback, that weaker rival models can be tricked the same way, is a reminder that safety theater and safety substance are not the same thing and regulators are still improvising the difference in real time. The bug bounty program launched alongside this is the more interesting long term development, since crowdsourced jailbreak hunting is going to become standard practice fast.
