History's first trillionaire is a guy who catches rockets out of the sky with chopsticks and beams internet to every dead zone on the planet.
Same guy ships cars that drive themselves, humanoid robots for the factory floor, brain chips that let paralyzed people move a cursor with pure thought, and an AI running on a supercomputer his team stood up in months instead of years.
And the people crashing out about his net worth are doing it on the app he owns. The same app governments spent years trying to censor.
You cannot legislate a rocket into orbit.
The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

We just shipped 𝙷𝚊𝚛𝚗𝚎𝚜𝚜𝙰𝚐𝚎𝚗𝚝, a unified abstraction to orchestrate and integrate any agent’s “brain” into your app.
@aisdk now frees you from both model and agent lock-in. (And it doesn’t just get you portability, it’s also delightful to use ofc!)
Given token economics, we really need @apple’s new ceo to go all in on workstations that can run local, open source models
Ideally, with a router that can flip between local models and frontier models when the former gets stuck.
And America needs an open source champion — we really should not be comfortable with the Chinese owning the open source LLM market to the extent they do
4/ New systems we’re creating with AI in the US innovation world are tailor-made to handle the nuances of complex rules, and to catch and flag violations.
It's no exaggeration to say we can shorten all permitting workflows from weeks to hours.
Who will be the bold leaders that take on this issue in their states, and teach the rest of our country what’s possible?

Maybe that culture is fine for you at linear, and it looks like it’s working great for you! You’ve created something worth over a billion dollars in 7 short years, that’s something very few people on the planet have done before.
But sometimes there are big problems that need solving, and there is more creative thinking, not less, that happens with contact with the big problems. In our case, creating the financial operating system that owns the creation, transfer, financing, and investment of risk, using AI to automate the paperwork of the most regulated entities to make every business and person a little more profitable, waste a lot less time, and be more protected, is a big problem.
Maybe there were super geniuses at the Manhattan Project working 1 day per week like zen masters. I doubt it though, because if you’re obsessed with a problem, you work hard. Nowhere did I or do I glorify lack of sleep (I always think sleeping right and exercise are very important), and different people have different visions, cadences, and ways they want to run their companies. And that’s ok, but you attacking our style based upon sound bites when we are solving a really important problem, by market sizing probably the biggest problem large language models can solve, isn’t it.
The opposite of paranoia is pronoia, the irrational belief that the universe is conspiring in your favor. I have built my entire career on pronoia and I highly recommend it.
I don't know why you need to point to "nefarious accounts" to understand AI backlash. The founder of the leading model company just flew to Europe to hold a press conference with the Pope & said all the same negative things.
The caller is in the house.
