The department will lift restrictions on both the Fable 5 model and the more powerful Mythos 5 model, which have so far been approved for release only to select companies and government agencies, the person said.
The move is expected to be reported in a letter sent by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to Anthropic co-founder Tom Brown, who along with National Cyber Director Sean Cairncross has led the Trump administration’s efforts to resolve the dispute with Anthropic.
Anthropic is working with the Commerce Department and the White House to strengthen safeguards against users bypassing Fable’s security restrictions to access restricted capabilities, particularly cybersecurity-related capabilities, the people say.
Anthropic originally argued that the administration’s jailbreak concerns were overblown. The company said it is impossible to ensure there is a jailbreak that could unlock the more powerful capabilities of the company’s restricted Mythos model, which was approved for limited release to select companies and government agencies last week.
In recent weeks, Anthropic changed its approach to trying to bring Fable back online, which also meant changing the company’s communication style with administration. wired It was previously reported that Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei was recently replaced over meetings with co-founder Tom Brown, whom executives liked more on a personal level.
Anthropic also assured the administration that it would attempt to reduce the number of jailbreaks by building more robust security measures, which the people said would effectively tell the administration what it wanted to hear rather than reducing it to an ideological issue of whether jailbreaks could be prevented.
