Multiple reports say Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raised concerns with U.S. officials about Anthropic’s latest AI models ahead of a Trump administration move that restricted foreign access. According to sources cited by The Hindu, TechCentral, CNA, and Investing.com, the U.S. government’s action followed discussions or calls involving Jassy and other technology firms, which warned Washington about risks associated with Anthropic’s models. On Friday, June 12, 2026, the Trump administration ordered Anthropic to shut down or block access to its most advanced systems, including Fable 5 and Mythos 5. Business Line reports that the order targets use by foreign nationals, including both those inside and outside the United States, indicating a broad restriction. Cointelegraph similarly reports that the administration suspended foreign access to both models, attributing the crackdown to earlier signals from Jassy and other tech companies. Seeking Alpha and Fortune describe the episode as a turning point in AI regulation, framing the sequence of communications and subsequent government restrictions as central to the dispute surrounding Anthropic’s Mythos model and its governance implications. Sources consistently describe a link between Amazon’s prior outreach and the later U.S. restrictions, though details of the specific concerns and legal basis are not uniformly provided.
