Anthropic and White House still deadlocked over Claude Fable 5

Anthropic's leadership flew to Washington to meet White House officials over Claude Fable 5, the company's latest AI model, but both sides remain split on the risks it poses after high-level talks on Monday. The standoff follows the Trump administration forcing Anthropic to pull its most recent cybersecurity models — a move analysts say signals the government is willing to intervene directly in AI development. The dispute is the most public collision yet between a leading AI lab and the federal government.
