The administration of the President of the US, Donald Trump, has prohibited foreigners from obtaining advanced types of AI created by Anthropic, in terms of national security, underlining the policy of the US government to manage goods on modern technology.
The United States standards came less than a week after Anthropic, the company behind the Claude chatbot, released a new type of artificial intelligence (AI) called Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5.

“The US government, citing national security officials, has issued an export ban to stop the availability of Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign workers,” Anthropic said. blog post on Friday.
The latest move has sparked a dispute between Anthropic and the Trump administration. A San Francisco-based company is suing government officials after being blacklisted for refusing to allow the US military to use its AI models for home surveillance and autonomous weapons.
Will this new order in the US further complicate the relationship between the White House and the AI company?
Here’s what we know:
What is behind the US plan?
Anthropic said the US government had given the company a national security order, but did not elaborate.
According to In a June 14 article published by the US journalist Semafor, the order was issued partly because of suspicions that a group linked to China had discovered a new version of Anthopic’s AI.
China has made great progress in AI in recent years, with Chinese AI company DeepSeek releasing the DeepSeek-V3 and DeepSeek-R1 AI models at a lower cost than their American counterparts. Beijing also controls the world’s rare earth chains, which are important to the AI sector.
Semafor also reported that David Sacks, an adviser to President Trump, revealed in the X-Files how the government knew about security and the Anthropic version of AI, which led to the creation of the plan to drive abroad.
The government received a warning that Fable 5 could be jailbroken, Sachs said, adding that when Anthopic co-founder and CEO Dario Amodei was notified, the company did everything to fix it.
On his Friday blog, Anthropic he said the US government gave only “verbal evidence of a narrow, non-international prison”.
“We do not agree that the existence of a limited prison should be the reason for the recall of a product that has been offered to hundreds of millions of people,” the company said.
The head of information at the Pentagon, Kirsten Davies, said in X’s letter on June 13 that the Department of Defense of the United States helps prioritize national security.
“Some things are more important than the amount of money, clickbait, and pre-IPO valuation. America First. Always,” Davies he said.
Al Jazeera, however, could not independently verify the veracity of the media reports.
What types of AI will be affected?
Anthropic’s Fable 5 version, which was released earlier this week and based on the Mythos technology, has been blocked due to a US government order.
Experts told the Reuters news agency that Mythos models, in the wrong hands, could significantly accelerate sophisticated cyberattacks, especially in sectors such as banking that rely on complex, interconnected, and often decades-old systems.
Anthropic said earlier this week that it worked with the US government, among others, on security issues ahead of Fable’s launch and that samples from AI competitors show a similar ability to discover small bugs in code.
Other major AI developers, such as OpenAI, have developed similar versions of AI but have largely avoided such direct restrictions from the Trump administration.
Commenting on the latest US government order, Anthropic said on Friday: “The overall effect of this order is that we must immediately shut down Fable 5 and Mythos 5 to ensure that all our customers are in compliance.
How will the US plan affect international research and foreign workers?
The latest measures aim to determine who can use US-made software and are part of the Trump administration’s efforts to control exports of high-tech, particularly in critical sectors such as AI and semiconductors. The US government has imposed restrictions and regulations on the sale of chips by technology giants such as Nvidia and AMD.
The latest order could damage global research and development because research organizations, including foreign ones affiliated with a US company, will lose access to the most advanced technology.
Currently, many international companies such as equity and research firm S&P use Anthropic’s Claude software to integrate their databases. This, helps financial advisors, investors and financial experts to get information from S&P in a convenient way.
Apart from companies, foreign workers working in the US on H1-B visas and people living outside the US will not be able to access the new Anthropic advanced AI model.
Meanwhile, several key Anthropic employees, including co-founder Chris Olah, AI researcher Andrej Karpathy and philosopher Amanda Askell, were born outside the US. But it is unclear whether they will also lose access to the program.
The move will also affect the workflow and productivity of companies in the US that use Anthropic, experts say, and other employees who cannot use the company’s advanced AI software.
Other users on X shared more.
Kun Chen, an X user who is a member of the technical team and a former L8 engineer at Meta, Microsoft, and Atlassian, he said The US government is wrong with this law.
“Using ‘foreign country’ as a way to find the model was not very smart. It is clearly not going to work and it would lead to a big ban. It is also counterproductive – there are more Americans who hate the US than foreigners…
Sridhar Vembu, co-founder of the Indian multinational company Zoho, he said on X that this US system has shown that “technology is the main weapon”.
“National governance, national security, everything is now about technology,” he said.
Mr. Vembu also emphasized that it is an opportunity for countries like India to develop their AI.
Meanwhile, Anthropic said it believes there was a “misunderstanding” and is working to restore access to the samples as soon as possible.
