Anthropic asked for regulation. Washington went much further

Anthropic, an AI company that has publicly advocated for government regulation of AI safety, received an export control directive from the Trump administration ordering it to suspend access to its latest Claude models (Fable 5 and Mythos 5) to foreign nationals, citing national security concerns. The directive was reportedly prompted by concerns that Amazon researchers had used prompts to get Fable 5 to generate information that could help with cyberattacks, and Anthropic disagreed with the suspension, calling it a 'misunderstanding' and characterizing it as not adhering to transparent, fair processes.
