Cybersecurity experts and tech CEOs are protesting the Trump administration's restrictions on Anthropic's advanced AI models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5. They argue the move disarms defenders against malicious hackers and hinders efforts to protect digital infrastructure, while not uniquely addressing AI risks.

Anthropic executives will meet with the US Department of Commerce on Monday in Washington DC to discuss AI safety concerns, specifically regarding a potential "jailbreak" vulnerability in their AI tool, Fable 5/Mythos 5. This follows a US government prohibition on foreign access to the technology.

The Trump administration has proposed 25% tariffs on imports from Brazil, citing "unreasonable" trade practices. Brazilian President Lula da Silva expressed "indignation" and blamed the decision on electoral rivalries, while the US trade representative cited "substantial differences" in resolving identified issues.

The US Commerce Department issued new guidance to close a loophole that may have allowed advanced AI chips, including Nvidia and AMD processors, to be exported to Chinese entities outside China for nearly a year.

The US Commerce Department has permitted 10 Chinese firms, including Alibaba and TikTok's parent company ByteDance, to purchase NVIDIA's H200 AI processors. However, deliveries have not yet occurred, with China reportedly halting purchases due to unclear US policy changes and concerns about hidden vulnerabilities in the chips.
