Politico Reconstructs the 19-Day White House Standoff That Pulled Fable Off the Market
Politico·high signal
Politico's account has the government testing Fable and Treasury approving release, then Amazon finding a jailbreak two days after launch, after which officials bluntly ordered Dario Amodei to fix it or take the model down. Amodei refused, the administration issued an export control, and the order was only lifted June 30 with Fable returning worldwide July 1. The resolution is the part builders should note: both sides ended up building a shared framework for grading jailbreak severity, with the administration conceding no model can be made completely jailbreak-proof.
