In crypto today, an AI researcher claims to have jailbroken Anthropic’s latest AI model, Claude Fable 5, the US CFTC proposes new rules for prediction markets focusing on sports event contracts, and the European Union targets 11 crypto platforms in its latest sanctions package.

The researcher claims it has already bypassed Anthropic’s Fable 5 guardrails.

Anthropic’s latest AI model, CloudFable 5, has been jailed within just 48 hours of its launch, an artificial intelligence and cybersecurity researcher has claimed.

“Pliny the Liberator”, a prominent figure in the AI ​​community, said On Wednesday it “liberated” Fable 5, which was launched on Tuesday as a security-enhanced version of the more powerful Mythos model that Anthropic said was too risky to release widely.

He used various techniques, including a jailbroken version of Opus 4.8, to bypass the built-in security measures that Anthropic installed on the model to prevent users from asking for potentially harmful information, such as drug-making formulas or hacking instructions.

“Despite this overly sensitive, dictatorial ‘protective’ layer over Methos, my lil liberators are hard at work. […] Cleverly finding holes in the fence that the police thought,” Pliny said.

Some crypto users had already expressed concern during the launch of Claude Fable 5 and Mythos that it could be used to attack crypto protocols and software. A jailbroken version of Cloud Fable 5 would mean that danger is even closer than expected.

CFTC Proposes Framework to Favor Contracts for Sports Competitions on Gambling

The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has proposed new rules for prediction markets, indicating that sporting event contracts are generally not against the public interest even though federal law classifies them as “gaming”.

Released on Wednesday. Suggestion distinguishes sporting event contracts from games of pure chance, arguing that markets based on final scores and win-loss records can aid price discovery. Agreements tied to player injuries, liability judgments or other outcomes that may encourage manipulation, however, are unlikely to meet the public interest test.

The proposal also clarifies that election contracts are not considered “gaming” under relevant federal laws.

Gary Kalbaugh, a partner at Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP in New York, said the proposal is based on principles rather than blanket approval, noting that each contract would still be subject to a case-by-case public interest analysis.

“We will also tighten our ban on crypto asset services in certain third countries, add new designations, and ban transactions on 11 crypto platforms,” ​​Callus said in a post on X.

The proposal would broaden the EU’s sanctions campaign beyond Russian banks and energy revenues to crypto firms accused of helping Moscow circumvent sanctions imposed over its war in Ukraine.

European Commission President Ursula van der Leyen said the targets have served sanctioned Russian individuals and entities or helped block EU actions.
