The US government has banned the use of Anthropic’s advanced AI models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5, for foreigners globally, with the AI startup suspending access to the models for all its users. As per a new report, the White House may have made this decision to prevent China from getting access to these highly powerful models.

Anthropic's AI ban may not have happened in isolation. New reports suggest Amazon researchers flagged security concerns about Fable 5 and Mythos 5 to US officials, potentially helping trigger a crackdown that has now blocked foreign users, including Indians, from accessing the models.
