A U.S. legal technology company on Tuesday sued the federal government, challenging a directive by President Donald Trump's administration that resulted in the artificial intelligence firm Anthropic halting access to two of its most advanced models for users worldwide.
Legion LegalTech Corp filed its lawsuit in Washington, D.C., federal court, saying a June 12 order by the U.S. Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security unlawfully required Anthropic to disable its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models for "any foreign national." Anthropic turned off access for all customers the same day to ensure compliance.
