David Sacks responds to Anthropic “security controversy” triggering regulation: The core issue is the unpatched vulnerabilities.

Odaily Odaily reports that David Sacks, co-chair of the U.S. President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, responded to the regulatory crackdown on Anthropic due to its "security controversy." He stated that he has communicated with various parties regarding the current situation of Anthropic and summarized that the core of the current incident lies in the security controversy caused by its newly released model "Fable" (a commercial version of the Mythos-like model). Although Anthropic stated in its public statement that the vulnerability is "not serious," the U.S. government and the testing parties disagree with this assessment, believing that it is sufficient to affect the security of the model and even involves the risk of "cyber weapon operability." David Sacks further criticized Anthropic, stating that while it has consistently emphasized "security first," this time it seems more inclined to maintain the consumer version's continued availability rather than prioritizing security fixes. He argued that this matter should not be confused with other previous defense or regulatory controversies, adding that the US government still recognizes Anthropic's technical capabilities and that the current issue "could have been resolved quickly; the initiative was with Anthropic."
