* Anthropic's AI tool, Fable 5 and Mythos 5, has been blocked by the US government due to national security concerns.
* The company will meet with senior White House officials on Monday to discuss the issue.
* Anthropic had previously warned that its latest release was "too powerful" and came with risks.
* The US government prohibited Anthropic from allowing foreign nationals access to the technology, leading to the blocking of public access.
* Dozens of tech leaders have called on the US government to allow Anthropic to release the models to the public, citing concerns about AI regulation.
* The White House has taken a relatively hands-off approach to regulating AI, but the latest action against Anthropic has caused concern among developers and security experts.
