White House gave Anthropic 90 minutes to pull its AI models after Lutnick-led crackdown on foreign access
ABC News — Technology—The Trump administration gave Anthropic just 90 minutes to disable access to its most powerful AI models for foreign users following a letter from Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, a Daily Sabah report revealed. Bloomberg published the full Lutnick letter that triggered Anthropic's emergency shutdown of its Mythos model line for international users. A separate Bloomberg report noted that some early users of Anthropic's Mythos models retained access despite the foreign-access order, suggesting enforcement was uneven. Semafor confirmed the US has restricted use of two specific Anthropic AI models, framing the move as unprecedented regulatory intervention in the AI sector. ABC News reported that tech industry voices are urging Trump to ease the restrictions, warning of competitive damage to US AI leadership globally.
