CNBC reported senior ANTHROPIC executives met in Washington on Monday with Trump administration officials after a U.S. export-control directive on Friday ordered the company to suspend access to its newest AI models, Fable 5 and MYTHOS 5, for any foreign national whether inside or outside the United States. ANTHROPIC said it disabled customer access to comply. The company said it had tested the models with government agencies and received deployment clearance before release. The U.S. government called ANTHROPIC at 1:00 p.m. ET on Friday requesting the shutdown and followed with a formal letter around 5:30 p.m. ET; ANTHROPIC said it had received no prior notice of a national-security concern before the directive.
