Interesting: The US Commerce Secretary reportedly told Anthropic it needs government permission to export Fable 5 and Mythos 5 anywhere in the world.
Even to “any foreign national regardless of location.”
"Lutnick threatened Anthropic with criminal and civil penalties if it failed to comply, according to a copy of the directive obtained by Bloomberg News."
Anthropic’s response: disable both models for all users.
Two points to consider:
1) Even friendly nations are excluded from the most significant models. SOTA is increasingly becoming a strategic weapon, kept secret.
2) As a result, AI is now being shifted away from private companies and directly into government control.
