Finally they will pay for all the scaremongering they been doing to sell their models as something so much ahead of all else. Now they finally found the right fools in audience to believe it.

It's ironic isn't it? All the marketing of how dangerous and powerful Mythos is and the government went "bet".

I'm more interested in the business impact of this

So you spend billions of dollars training the model, only for it to be used in the US.

Then interesting to see where most of anthropic revenue comes from. If it's the US then they're fine but if it's global then they'll see a drop in revenue?

Then add to this decision, companies are going to significantly reduce their token spend.

So what does all of this mean for their IPO?

Big deal! Can't wait for the Chinese models to catch up - cheap, no marketing gimmicks, no politics, humble, hardworking, and they are only getting better. America is no longer a trustworthy technology partner! No wonder Europe is trying to detach itself from the present and future Trumps, Pete Hegseths, and other deranged narcissists. But I wonder why Anthropic is cutting my access, too, as I'm a US citizen residing in America? They could've vibe-coded a self-improving ID verification in no time, right? Should US models in the future require biometric verification to make small CSS tweaks to a vibe-coded website?!

A good way to push foreigners toward competitors and reduce any incentive to base you AI company in the US.

I'm reminded of export restrictions on 40-bit encryption 30 years ago. It will pass when chips get cheaper and things become less one-sided.

Is this legal? Seems pretty arbitrary. Its not like usa forbids selling pentesting services to foreigners.

More free PR for anthropic. “Our models are so powerful the govt shut them down”. Insert image of Dario looking like his dog just died. So tired of the nonsense.

Reddit thinks this is all part of Anthropic's marketing. People can't get it through their heads that AI is actually going where all the trends have been pointing for years.
