Welp, it was nice while it lasted. Anthropic said Friday that it will “immediately suspend” access to its latest Mythos 5 and Fable 5 AI models under orders from the U.S. government. Access to other models is not affected, and the company said it's working to "restore access as soon as possible."
A directive from the White House issued at 5:21 p.m. ET on Friday required the company to revoke access to its next-gen models for "any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees," Anthropic explained in a blog post. With no way of applying that rule at the moment, Anthropic abruptly disabled the models for all of its customers to ensure compliance.
