The Trump administration is banning foreign governments, companies and individuals from using Anthropic’s most powerful artificial-intelligence tools, prompting the company to shut off access to everyone to comply with the new rule.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick sent Anthropic Chief Executive Dario Amodei a letter Friday stating that the company’s latest Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models are now subject to export restrictions, an administration official said. That means usage by customers outside the U.S. and foreign nationals within the U.S. is prohibited.
