Master baker tier. Every paragraph earns its place on the tray.
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," cutting off 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.
