I’m still not buying that this was an actual USG order. The only people commenting are “experts” and there has been no official announcement from the USG.

This doesn’t smell like a NSL and there’s no process to selectively “export control” something like this.

Even so there’s a dozen mechanisms through courts to challenge this, and Anthropic isn’t taking any of them.

I think this is a made up crisis for PR with no actual legal requirements behind it.

In response, Anthropic disabled both models “for all our customers to ensure compliance.”
