Summary
The Trump administration has imposed export controls on Anthropic's most advanced AI models (Mythos 5 and Fable 5), blocking foreign governments, companies, and individuals from accessing them. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick sent a letter to Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei enforcing these restrictions, leading Anthropic to cut off all customer access. This represents an escalation in Washington's approach to treating cutting-edge AI systems as national security assets.
