Anthropic's feud with Trump boosts sales — and kills its best model
anthropic topped openai in business spend for the first time, taking 41% market share despite a federal order forcing it to withdraw the mythos 5 model.
anthropic grabbed 41% of business ai spend in may, beating openai's 39.5% as companies ramped up use of its opus models and claude code tools. this commercial success was immediately complicated by a white house order invoking export controls to ban non-americans from accessing mythos 5, forcing anthropic to withdraw the model days after release. the administration cited security risks after reported guardrail bypasses, adding anthropic to a 'supply chain risk' list following its refusal to enable surveillance. despite the model withdrawal, experts suggest the controversy validates the model's power and could further drive enterprise adoption.
