Washington blocked Anthropic's latest artificial intelligence models, Mythos 5 and Fable 5, on June 12, 2026, at the Trump administration's request, citing a national security threat. This unprecedented action, disabling models renowned for detecting cybersecurity vulnerabilities, triggered strong reactions in France and across Europe. European observers perceive the decision as clear evidence of US dominance and control over the critical AI sector.
Anthropic stated it had no alternative, as US authorities ordered it to cut off access for "any foreign national," including its own foreign employees, invoking an "export control directive." French presidential candidate Gabriel Attal declared "The AI war has already begun," reflecting European worries about US unilateral action and its implications for AI development and sovereignty, especially after a circumvention of Fable 5's safeguards was discovered.
