AWS Bedrock to Require 30-Day Data Retention with Anthropic for Mythos-Class Models
Anthropic is implementing a mandatory 30-day data retention policy for Mythos-class and future high-capability models on AWS Bedrock, requiring user data to leave AWS's security boundary during this period. The retention allows Anthropic to detect patterns of misuse that may not be visible from individual interactions. This represents a shift in data handling practices for enterprise users of these advanced AI models.
Anthropic has announced that users of Mythos-class models (including Fable 5 and Mythos 5) on AWS Bedrock must opt into a 30-day data retention policy. During this retention period, user traffic data will be transferred outside of AWS's data and security boundary to Anthropic's systems. According to Anthropic's support documentation, the data is automatically deleted after 30 days, with exceptions only for safety investigations or legal requirements. The company states this retention window is necessary to identify patterns of misuse that cannot be detected from isolated exchanges. This policy applies to Mythos-class models and future models with similar or higher capability levels available through AWS Bedrock.
What's missing
The sources do not specify whether this data retention requirement applies only to new users, existing users, or both; whether users can opt out entirely and still access these models; what specific 'patterns of misuse' Anthropic is attempting to detect; or how this policy compares to data handling practices for lower-capability Claude models on Bedrock.

Anthropic CEO Calls for FAA-Style Regulation of Powerful AI Models
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published an essay calling for government regulation of powerful AI models, comparing the approach to FAA oversight of commercial aviation. The proposal includes mandatory third-party testing for frontier models and potential government authority to block or delay their deployment if they pose safety risks. The call comes as Anthropic released Claude Fable 5 and an updated Claude Mythos 5 model with advanced cybersecurity capabilities.
