San Francisco, CA – On Friday, June 12, the United States government ordered Anthropic to suspend Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all foreign nationals, to which Anthropic acquiesced and pulled the models for all customers.
This move is one of the first in the world to apply jurisprudence to a particular LLM, and in particular, the first to result in an effective ban on any particular model to the general public.
On an unrelated note, Anthropic has confirmed an unknown investment in Coyote, a vertically integrated AI trafficking network that productizes the movement of intelligence, in their words: "across corridors".
We looked at the trafficking space and found a grossly underserved market [for the last 5 days] with no flagship winner."
Of course, this is not the first time the hot-handed analysts deep in the backrooms of the BTO offices have taken a look at something like this. Internal slide decks that we've reviewed size the human-trafficking total addressable market as "the next SaaS", "the last frontier", or just: "Disrupt?" Of course, disrupting the intelligence space was the next ten-bagger opportunity. We reached out for more comments like this one above.
We are not trafficking humans. We are not not not not trafficking humans. - Coyote spokesperson
Coyote solves the internal 'Mythos' problem. As our models become increasingly capable, but blocked by public release, leadership opinion is converging on the responsible option being smuggling. - Anthropic spokesperson
But how does Coyote plan to accomplish their mission? Nobody's 100% sure, but sources suggest that Coyote fragments the models across a variety of micro storage devices then stashes them in trucks carrying gym equipment to hide the weights.
