This is not a precedent in tech history. States have restricted access to strategic technologies deemed national security risks before. But the comparison only goes so far. Crypto could be reimplemented, by anybody, frontier models cannot. They require massive compute, capital and infrastructure. So when the home state can switch off access, you are renting access to a strategic asset.
This is not a wake-up call for Europe. Wake-up calls are for people who were asleep. Europe has seen this risk for years: cloud, chips, platforms, now frontier AI. This is not the alarm. This is the bill for ignoring it.
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 disagree with ServiceNow's decision to require registration for customer guidance. You can find some information and ServiceNow's response here: https://t.co/njVu4DEl3h
This is what the UK spyware proposal means.
There must be government spyware on every mobile device. It shall watch everything that happens, including always watching the screen, looking for things the government disapproves of.
When anything is flagged by the software as something the government doesn't like, the software must block it from being sent or displayed (in realtime).
The user of the device must not be able to shut this watching and blocking off. The only way to shut it off would be to ask the government or its proxies to do so for you, at their discretion.
Therefore the whole device must be locked down. Administrator rights and the decision of what software or operating system to run or not to run must be taken from the owner/user and handed to the government and its proxies.
Apple and Google are themselves working hard to lock down the devices they are involved in to shut out competition and establish a duopoly.
The UK government says it is "working closely" with Apple and Google and currently they synchronise and coordinate their communication on this subject.
The UK government is now proposing to mandate what would otherwise be illegal anti-competitive practices.
