Anthropic suspends AI models following US government directive

AI startup Anthropic has suspended access to its advanced Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models just three days after their commercial launch, complying with a US government directive citing national security.

Anthropic, an American artificial intelligence startup, has suspended access to its two most powerful models, Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5. The decision came on June 12, just three days after their commercial launch. This action was taken to comply with a directive from the US government, specifically the Trump administration, which invoked "national security" as the reason. The order, issued under export control regulations, mandates that access to these models be cut off for "any foreign national, inside or outside" the United States. The abrupt halt impacts the global availability of Anthropic's advanced AI systems.
