David Sacks says Amodei refused to fix the jailbreak. Anthropic says that never happened.

Anthropic pulled its two most advanced AI models — Mythos and Fable 5 — offline Friday rather than comply with a White House directive restricting them to U.S. citizens only, and the official explanation for why that directive happened depends entirely on who you ask: the administration says Anthropic refused to fix a jailbreak; Anthropic says Chinese access was never even raised in those conversations; and per reporting, it was Amazon CEO Andy Jassy — Anthropic's biggest investor — who called the White House in the first place. Three competing accounts, zero overlap, and both models are still down. By the time Canadian PM Mark Carney was citing the shutdown at a G7 pre-meeting as proof that AI dependency on a single company is a sovereign risk, this had stopped being a domestic tech policy story.
