June 13, Fineko/abc.az. US-based artificial intelligence firm Anthropic has announced the immediate suspension of global access to its cutting-edge AI models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5, following sweeping export control restrictions imposed by the federal government under national security mandates.
According to ABC.AZ, the operational directive dispatched by Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick strictly bars foreign nationals—including Anthropic's own personnel—from accessing the technology. Consequently, the firm was forced to pull the models entirely for all commercial clients.
The Root of the Crisis: Sidelining the Pentagon While federal authorities claim to have caught critical structural security bypasses within Fable 5, industry insiders confirm the enforcement acts as a retaliatory strike after Anthropic refused to license its Claude architecture for military combat applications.
Chronology of the Executive Standoff between Washington and Anthropic:
February 24, 2026: US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth issued an ultimatum to Anthropic, demanding total clearance to deploy the company's Claude AI for broad domestic surveillance and fully autonomous lethal weapon systems. Citing strict human rights bylaws, Anthropic rejected the mandate.
February 27, 2026: US President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing all federal departments and intelligence agencies to immediately terminate the utilization of Anthropic systems.
March 6, 2026: The Pentagon officially branded the tech startup a "procurement supply-chain risk," severing all corporate operational ties.
March 9, 2026: Anthropic filed two major civil lawsuits against the US Government, alleging that defense authorities are executing illegal administrative retaliation over the firm's strict AI safety standards.
