Anthropic talks with White House end without lifting export controls

Anthropic leaders met with Trump administration officials in Washington on Monday but failed to resolve a dispute over export controls on its advanced AI models. The controls, imposed last week due to jailbreaking concerns, remain in place after the high-level talks.

Anthropic sent its leaders to the capital for discussions with White House officials. The meetings concluded without any agreement to lift the restrictions on Fable 5 and Mythos 5.

The export controls bar access by foreign nationals, forcing Anthropic to suspend the models entirely over the weekend. The company has stated that the government showed it a jailbreak but that the action does not follow principles of transparency and technical facts.

Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick and National Cyber Director Sean Cairncross participated in earlier calls on Saturday. David Sacks, co-chair of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, said the administration believes the issue should be easily resolved.
