  1. Assessment: SupportedSaid

    “The Commerce department just ordered an export control directive (quoting Anthropic) “to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5” by foreign nationals — even their own employees.”

    What we tested: The US Commerce Department issued an export control directive requiring Anthropic to suspend all access by foreign nationals, including its own employees, to Fable 5 and Mythos 5.

    What happened: Anthropic confirms an export control directive to suspend all access to both models by foreign nationals, including its own employees. Marcus's quote matches this text. (Anthropic, )

  2. Assessment: Can’t be checkedSaid

    “I have my reservations about generative AI, but this is not the way.”

    What we tested: Despite reservations about generative AI, the Commerce Department's directive suspending foreign-national access to Anthropic's models is the wrong way to handle AI.
