I don't think ITAR has anything to do with any of this.
The export control directives on Anthropic are under the authority of the Arms Export Control Act. The International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) implement the AECA for commercial exports, including the "technical data" under control. This story is about circumventing ITAR directives.
Where did you get this information? I think it's wrong -- I'm pretty sure they used the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) under the Export Control Reform Act (ECRA), which is under Commerce, not ITAR which is under the State Department. See for example https://harvardlawreview.org/blog/2026/06/is-access-to-fable...

Confidential computing is not secure against a potential attacker who has physical access to the hardware. The CC security guarantees explicitly assume the attacker has no physical access.
> is not secure against a potential attacker who has physical access to the hardware. Well, yes, its the oldest adage in computing that "physical access == game over". So I would argue it is more about reducing your risk to a more acceptable level. And in that respect I would say using services such as Tinfoil or Privatemode is an enormous step up from "trust me dude, we won't look at your data". Remotely verifiable…
Yeah, to be clear I'm pretty excited about confidential computing and startups building on it, like Tinfoil, for some use cases. I just wanted to point out it's far from adequate for some important threat models (e.g., securing model weights for data centers located abroad, I think). (It's also not super widely adopted in AI yet, but that seems to be changing, at least for inference workloads.)
