we're not talking enough about how this order restricts "any foreign national," "including foreign national Anthropic employees" EVEN from inside Anthropic now cannot use the model.
CSET reports that in 2023, 217 leading US-based AI researchers were foreign-born or educated. This new policy if taken at its word WILL affect people on O-1 Visas, H-1B's, and green card holders who work at Anthropic.
This policy is self-sabotage on the US's existing AI research if it lasts.
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.
