Anthropic’s safety warnings may have just backfired — the government has pulled the plug on its most powerful AI
TechCrunch·June 13, 2026
Anthropic has expressed frustration after the government pulled the plug on its most powerful AI model. The decision was made in response to safety warnings issued by Anthropic itself, which identified a potential "jailbreak" vulnerability in the model. Despite the warning, Anthropic disagrees with the recall, arguing that the issue is narrow and should not have led to the model's removal from deployment. The model had been used by hundreds of millions of people before being recalled.
