Anthropic just cut off the world from its smartest models
anthropic disabled access to fable 5 and mythos 5 for all users globally following a us government directive. the shutdown removes critical tools from cyber defenders and threatens america's position in the global ai race.
anthropic has disabled global access to its advanced ai models fable 5 and mythos 5, responding to a us government directive issued on friday that specifically barred foreign users. a company spokesperson indicated they could not comply with the directive by selectively filtering users, necessitating a total shutdown. the ban reportedly follows discussions with amazon's ceo and has drawn sharp criticism from cybersecurity experts who argue it hinders defense operations. critics claim the measure risks america's ai leadership and creates market instability without addressing tangible security threats.
