The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

Apple makes it clear that Europe is itself to blame for the unavailability of Apple Intelligence. Apple says Siri AI won’t launch on iPhone and iPad in the EU because regulators interpret the DMA as requiring Apple to give rival AI assistants broad access to private user data and control over apps. Apple argues this would create major privacy and security risks, and says the European Commission rejected its proposed safeguards, including a "Trusted System Agent" and an 18-month rollout plan. As a result, there is currently no timeline for Siri AI on iOS and iPadOS in the EU. “We’re deeply disappointed that our EU users won’t have Siri AI on iPhone or iPad when we share our new software releases later this year,” said Craig Federighi." (...) "However, given the clear dangers to EU users and the regulators’ failure to acknowledge these risks, there is currently no timeline for Siri AI’s availability in the EU on iOS and iPadOS." EU overregulated itself. Again.
