Anthropic got hit by export rules nobody understands
Summary
The Trump administration ordered Anthropic to block access to its AI models (Fable 5 and Mythos 5) for all foreign nationals, citing national security as the reason. This marks the first time US export controls have been used to restrict access to an AI model in this way, and the government has not publicly explained the legal basis for the order.
