en.Wedoany.com Reported - The White House and artificial intelligence company Anthropic are jointly developing a methodology to assess the severity of vulnerabilities in new AI models and determine when national intervention is warranted. According to Politico, citing two government officials, the dispute over the blocking of the company's most powerful models is evolving from a private conflict into an effort to establish universal rules.

The trigger was an export control measure. This measure forced Anthropic to shut down Fable 5 and Mythos 5 to all users due to a so-called "jailbreak" (a method to bypass model protections). The government and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei disagreed on the severity of the vulnerability, revealing that the nation lacked the tools to resolve such disputes. Technological development has outpaced regulatory infrastructure.

The new framework aims to fill this gap. Both sides are developing a unified set of benchmark standards to evaluate future jailbreaks: the depth of protection bypass, the exposed model capabilities, and the real-world consequences of the intrusion. Anthropic's negotiations are led by Government Relations Director Sarah Heck and company co-founder Tom Brown.

The methodology incorporates Anthropic's own original argument into the rules: no model is completely immune to intrusion. At the same time, the government gains a long-missing element: a standard scale and a formal basis for intervention. A similar view was conveyed at this week's G7 meeting in France: top AI company executives and national leaders agreed that the development of risk assessment rules should be undertaken by the state.

Export restrictions remain in place for now, but progress is visible. Negotiations effectively broke down last Friday: Anthropic refused to remove Fable 5 from the public platform, insisting the vulnerability was limited in scope and not a comprehensive gap. In response, the White House imposed export controls. Over the weekend, a series of lengthy phone calls took place between the parties—involving Tom Brown, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and Cyber Director Sean Cairncross—followed by nearly a week of in-person meetings in Washington. There is still no timeline for restoring the model's availability.
