I agree! The concerns must have been very serious indeed to overcome Amazon's strong incentives to not bring them up and let Anthropic keep pulling in the revenue from their new frontier model.

Or they're trying to hype up an investment...
That doesn't really make sense. If Amazon wanted to build hype, wouldn't they have talked publicly about this? What's the point of working hard on a hype strategy and then delivering it only in private to government officials?
The export ban exists to hype the capabilities of the much more expensive but only marginally better model.

Begs the question why they didn’t present that info to Anthropic directly and if they did why they didn’t act
It does. Anthropic mentions (https://www.anthropic.com/news/fable-mythos-access) they consider jailbreaks that "provide no Mythos-specific uplift" to be minor findings; perhaps they couldn't agree on what kinds of capabilities were unlocked by the jailbreak Amazon found.
Very questionable and tone deaf response from Anthropic. Irrelevant whether it’s specific to Mythos or Haiku. Dario seems to be looking for an exit.

That's one potential interpretation. There are many others.
Hyping an investment, as mentioned.
If they have continued access, being able to use the tool when others cannot to get ahead.
Amazon's incentives are not so clear or simple as your first interpretation. It's important to think about these things beyond a moment's glance. With practice you will improve!
