Macron vs. Trump: Anthropic AI Models Restricted Globally

Anthropic's most advanced AI models, Claude Mythos 5 and Claude Fable 5, are now unavailable to all users. This comes after the Trump administration ordered Anthropic to restrict foreign nationals from these models. French President Emmanuel Macron is pushing for broader access. He met with Anthropic's CEO and other AI leaders at the G7 summit. Macron expects progress in the coming weeks on a "trusted partners" scheme. This scheme would allow vetted non-US nations access to advanced US AI models. Anthropic disabled its models globally because it couldn't filter foreign nationals from US users in real time. The company stated a jailbreak of Fable 5's safeguards triggered the directive. Anthropic argued the jailbreak was narrow and warned that such restrictions could halt new model launches. This situation highlights a diplomatic challenge at the G7, as countries consider how to access advanced AI technology.
