The Government is banning AI...
The US government has issued an export control directive suspending access to Anthropic's Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models for foreign nationals, citing national security. This order requires Anthropic to disable these models for all customers to ensure compliance, though access to other Claude models remains unaffected. Anthropic believes this is a misunderstanding and is working to restore access.
This directive creates significant disruption for Anthropic's customers and raises questions about how AI companies will enforce such restrictions, potentially requiring 'know your customer' protocols similar to financial institutions.
