US directs Anthropic to disable AI models for foreign nationals

Anthropic has suspended access to its AI models Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for foreign nationals following a U.S. government directive citing national security concerns. The order, received on June 13, 2026, affects all foreign users, including those in the U.S. The ban raises concerns about the potential misuse of AI technology, particularly its ability to detect software vulnerabilities. Anthropic argues that blocking widely-used software is unjustified and emphasizes the extensive safety testing of its systems.
