Anthropic is sending senior technical staff to Washington to meet White House officials after the Trump administration imposes restrictions on access to its advanced AI models, Mythos 5 and Fable 5. Multiple reports say the dispute centers on national security and AI safety concerns, with the administration ordering Anthropic to block use of the models by foreign nationals worldwide. Anthropic responds by disabling or restricting global access to the models and is working to address the concerns raised by the administration.
The outlets describe the engagement as moving from initial outreach to in-person discussions in Washington. The company’s goal is to restore access to its most capable systems for users while clarifying or resolving the administration’s security requirements. None of the sources report a final agreement or a completed resolution at the time of writing, but they characterize the meetings as part of an active effort to resolve the matter. The dispute leaves Mythos 5 and Fable 5 restricted or offline in the interim, affecting availability for users outside the order’s scope and raising commercial and strategic questions for the company.
