Anthropic just struck a deal with the government to allow 100 select companies and governmental agencies use Mythos.
The government and anthropic are now deciding who uses frontier intelligence. Hopefully this is just Mythos and not the standard for all frontier models going forward.
What the hell.
It's clear now that the US goverment is ready and willing to gatekeep foreign nations from accessing SOTA models.
If this isn't enough for Europe to wake up and start doing everything it can to fill the gap I don't know what else could.
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.

@sama Writing style. 5.4/5.5 already improved a lot but still fall short on less generic prose styles.
And an image model with the same prompt adherence of GPT Image 2 but better taste and no weird noisy patterns or watermarks
@Linahuaa Probably true. But models are getting faster, smarter and cheaper. I don't think focusing only on enterprise tier will be necessarily the best play.
It could turn into a kind of a Microsoft-Apple situation.
That's us! 🌍
The Artemis II crew captured beautiful, high-resolution images of our home planet during their journey to the Moon. As @Astro_Christina put it: "You guys look great."

Yesterday a quasi-judicial body in Italy fined @Cloudflare $17 million for failing to go along with their scheme to censor the Internet. The scheme, which even the EU has called concerning, required us within a mere 30 minutes of notification to fully censor from the Internet any sites a shadowy cabal of European media elites deemed against their interests. No judicial oversight. No due process. No appeal. No transparency. It required us to not just remove customers, but also censor our 1.1.1.1 DNS resolver meaning it risked blacking out any site on the Internet. And it required us not just to censor the content in Italy but globally. In other words, Italy insists a shadowy, European media cabal should be able to dictate what is and is not allowed online.
That, of course, is DISGUSTING and even before yesterday’s fine we had multiple legal challenges pending against the underlying scheme. We, of course, will now fight the unjust fine. Not just because it’s wrong for us but because it is wrong for democratic values.
In addition, we are considering the following actions: 1) discontinuing the millions of dollars in pro bono cyber security services we are providing the upcoming Milano-Cortina Olympics; 2) discontinuing Cloudflare’s Free cyber security services for any Italy-based users; 3) removing all servers from Italian cities; and 4) terminating all plans to build an Italian Cloudflare office or make any investments in the country.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. While there are things I would handle differently than the current U.S. administration, I appreciate @JDVance taking a leadership role in recognizing this type of regulation is a fundamental unfair trade issue that also threatens democratic values. And in this case @ElonMusk is right: #FreeSpeech is critical and under attack from an out-of-touch cabal of very disturbed European policy makers.
I will be in DC first thing next week to discuss this with U.S. administration officials and I’ll be meeting with the IOC in Lausanne shortly after to outline the risk to the Olympic Games if @Cloudflare withdraws our cyber security protection.
In the meantime, we remain happy to discuss this with Italian government officials who, so far, have been unwilling to engage beyond issuing fines. We believe Italy, like all countries, has a right to regulate the content on networks inside its borders. But they must do so following the Rule of Law and principles of Due Process. And Italy certainly has no right to regulate what is and is not allowed on the Internet in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, China, Brazil, India or anywhere outside its borders.
THIS IS AN IMPORTANT FIGHT AND WE WILL WIN!!!
@LionnetPierre@peterrhague Of course there are going to be challenges, but we humans are good at solving them. We do these things "because they are hard". Launch capability is a core one. 10k starships per year (likely a way too optimistic number as Musk usually does) is a way to address that.
It is not clear what could be the use case of producing 10k ships per year, the fleet would grow to 50k ships in 5 years. With F9 a stock of 22 boosters in 2025 enabled 165 flights. What could require launching 50000x7, i.e. 350000 Starships i.e. 52 million tons in LEO per year?
@LionnetPierre Thanks for the suggestion. I do know that book, altough I didn't read it, yet. I did read @peterrhague's review of it though https://t.co/77zoYYOxUq.
Much of the authors' criticisms seems to be superficial and biased imho.
@LarAtLarian There’s no RPG I would want more than one made Larian where every NPC is an autonomous agent interacting with the world and the player with minimal dev scripting.
The anti-AI crowd has poisoned the debate, and it’ll delay projects like this no matter how mature the tech is.
