The latest skirmish between the vendor and the Trump administration comes soon after the release of two powerful new AI models.
June 15, 2026
Anthropic executives met with administrations over the weekend after the government abruptly ended access to the generative Ai vendor’s Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models.
A statement on the Anthropic website on 12 June revealed that the Trump administration, citing national security authorities, had issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, inside or outside the U.S., including foreign Anthropic employees.
As a result, Anthropic said the only option to ensure compliance was to deny access to all customers.
