Anthropic got hit by export rules nobody understands

Anthropic halted access to its AI models Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all users, including those within the United States and its own employees, following an order from the Trump administration to cease providing services to foreign nationals. This abrupt directive, issued earlier this week, has created significant operational challenges for the artificial intelligence company. The order's broad scope has led to confusion regarding its precise application, prompting Anthropic to implement a widespread access block as a precautionary measure. The company is actively working to clarify the export control regulations and restore services, but the immediate impact has been a complete shutdown of these specific AI models for all users globally. The exact reasons and the full implications of the export control order are still being assessed by Anthropic and industry observers.
