## AI overview

An engineer examines the abrupt government-ordered shutdown of Anthropic's Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models after a jailbreak exposed powerful vulnerability-finding capabilities. The article argues that dependence on an AI vendor can create a supply-chain risk for engineering and security workflows, emphasizing the need for contingency plans when model access can disappear without warning.

## Source excerpt

A government order abruptly took down a powerful AI model, exposing a new kind of supply chain risk for engineering teams. Security leaders need contingency plans before the next model disappears.
