Anthropic forced to block AI models after Trump administration issues opaque export control order
By
Robert Hart
Summary
Anthropic was forced to block access to its newest AI models (Fable 5 and Mythos 5) after the Trump administration issued an abrupt export control directive citing "national security authorities." The order required cutting access for all foreign nationals, including users inside the US and Anthropic's own employees. The legal basis for the order remains unexplained, and experts warn that governing AI through opaque, ad hoc interventions is unsustainable.
