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.

French judge Nicolas Gouyou, who issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu at the ICC:
• Visa and Mastercard have blocked all my cards
• I cannot make any purchases
• I am a judge, yet treated like a criminal
• Judges, lawyers, and politicians are being intimidated
• A colleague told me my name won’t be removed from the blacklist until Trump’s term ends
• Despite intervention by the French president, U.S. authorities have not responded

Here's why this matters now. 🧵
Anthropic just announced it will take the Trump administration to court over the supply chain risk designation. And in the same breath, Axios revealed the detail that changes everything about this story.
While Anthropic was being blacklisted for refusing to allow mass surveillance, the Pentagon’s own “compromise deal” that Under Secretary Emil Michael was offering on the phone at the exact moment Hegseth posted the designation on X would have required Anthropic to allow the collection and analysis of Americans’ geolocation data, web browsing history, and personal financial information purchased from data brokers.
Read that again. The Pentagon spent two weeks saying it has no interest in mass surveillance of Americans. Then the deal they actually put on the table asked for access to your location, your browsing history, and your financial records.
They told us Anthropic was lying. The contract language told us Anthropic was right.
Now here is where this becomes an existential question for a $380 billion company.
The supply chain risk designation means every company that does business with the Pentagon must certify they do not use Claude. Eight of the ten largest companies in America use Claude. Defense contractors, cloud providers, consulting firms, banks. The blast radius is not the $200 million Pentagon contract. It is the enterprise ecosystem that generates $14 billion in annual revenue.
Anthropic’s legal argument is specific: under 10 USC 3252, the designation can only restrict use of Claude on Pentagon contract work. Your commercial API access, your https://t.co/koW5OJjjaM subscription, your enterprise license are, in Anthropic’s reading, completely unaffected.
But here is the problem. That is a legal argument. It will take years to resolve in court. And in the meantime, every general counsel at every Fortune 500 company with any Pentagon exposure is going to ask one question: is using Claude worth the risk?
The IPO, which was expected this year at a $380 billion valuation backed by $30 billion in fresh capital, is functionally frozen. No underwriter will price an offering while a company carries the same designation as Huawei.
And here is the final detail nobody has processed yet. Hours after blacklisting Anthropic, the Pentagon accepted OpenAI’s proposed safety framework, which contains the identical red lines: no mass surveillance, no autonomous lethal weapons.
They destroyed one company for a position they then accepted from its competitor.

This morning Altman said he agreed with Anthropic.
Tonight he took their contract.
His own employees begged him not to.
Remember this the next time a CEO talks about values.
@sama 1 day before, you raised the biggest fund 100B$ ever with your friend companies who I think also adopt your values. This is where I see AI is built for dominance not for human innovation. Rethink it man even if it is so tough.
yesterday you faked solidarity. today you watched the pentagon publicly blacklist your biggest rival and immediately swooped in to steal their contract.
using "human responsibility" as a cute loophole for killer ai while telling anthropic to accept your vague terms is peak gaslighting.
@sama Either the DoW has different standards for OAI vs Anthropic, or Altman is being misleading in this tweet.
Given his history, I’d expect the latter.
@sama You are building something that beyond borders and countries. Hope your positive impact thinks and acts global. This is the major lesson learned from tech, capitalism and politics...
@karpathy What if the nice pic does not look like the real food?! What an experience!
Though I like the app it solves a problem but not accountability! :)
