We just watched export controls move from GPUs to HTTPS
Immediately implications:
• You cannot enforce this kind of control long‑term without strong ID verification on model usage.
• Anonymous frontier access is now politically radioactive
This, of course, raises some important concerns.
If frontier model research and development is centralised in the hands of a few, US-based companies then access to those models becomes a matter of geopolitics, and a single directive can decide which passports get to use them and which ones don’t
That's why open source is so immensely important, and why we wholeheartedly support it.
You can run it on your own hardware, or like we do at ORGN, wrap it in TEEs for verifiable confidentiality. No government can suddenly revoke your API key. Access isn’t gated by nationality, and the whole field can keep iterating, for everyone, instead of waiting to see who Washington decides gets to use the latest model this week.
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.
