The Wall Street Journal reports the Trump administration has barred foreign governments, companies, and individuals from using Anthropic's top-tier AI models, including Fable 5 and Mythos 5. The order also applies to foreign nationals inside the U.S., according to the report.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the Trump administration has imposed a sweeping ban on foreign access to Anthropic's most advanced AI models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5, prohibiting use by foreign governments, companies, and individuals — including foreign nationals physically present in the United States. The report, published early Friday, expands on earlier restrictions: as The Zioneer first reported at 06:31, the U.S. government ordered Anthropic to disable the models for foreign users, and by the same hour, the company had fully suspended them globally after a U.S. government order citing national security. A separate report at 02:06 on June 13 had detailed White House concerns over a China-linked group potentially gaining access to the Mythos model, with Anthropic saying it was not consulted before restrictions were imposed. That earlier account was not attributed to named officials, and the same outlet has not attributed this new broader ban to named sources either. Both models remain globally suspended. The Wall Street Journal report followed discussions between Amazon's CEO and U.S. officials, as The Zioneer reported at 20:56 on June 13. It remains unclear whether the administration formally consulted Anthropic before issuing the expanded foreign-use ban.
