  1. Anthropic data-sharing shocks AWS enterprise

    Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 on Amazon Bedrock silently broke AWS's inference-data boundary guarantee by requiring 30-day data sharing with Anthropic for human review, and Anthropic then requested access revocation three days after launch over US export control concerns — a one-two punch that undermines enterprise data governance assumptions on Bedrock.
