Startup Dispatches Staff to D.C. Amid Shutdown of Powerful Models
Anthropic is racing to resolve its conflict with the Trump administration over export restrictions on its most powerful AI models. The company has dispatched top technical staff to Washington to pursue a deal, after the administration banned foreign governments, companies, and individuals from using its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models. This prompted Anthropic to shut off access to everyone to comply with the restrictions. The situation was first reported by The Wall Street Journal.
