“The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees”
“… pour tout pays souhaitant développer ou accéder à l’IA de frontière, c’est un signal majeur : la souveraineté technologique ne peut plus rester un concept”
“[Cette mesure] porte un coup à la rentabilité de modèles d’une valeur de plusieurs milliards de $ […] rendant le développement de frontière non rentable.”
“une série d’erreurs stratégiques et la dynamique de l’écosystème chinois ont déjà considérablement réduit l’avantage des 🇺🇸 sur la 🇨🇳 dans la course à l’IA.”

Following the Trump administration’s example, China is now proposing export restrictions on LLMs
"The proposal would restrict exports of core technology for models containing at least 2 trillion parameters — like Kimi K3 or Qwen3.8-Max — or ranking among the world’s top 10 on measures including performance, usage and safety. The curb would cover model weights, checkpoints, source code & architecture.”
Europe needs to build its own models, and show a third-way for the 🌍

Dario doesn't seem too concerned, or prefers not to know, that Claude was involved in a targeting decision through Palantir with outdated data that killed hundreds of school children

A visual project from Airwars and the AI Now Institute breaks down how artificial intelligence is transforming every aspect of war - and how militaries are offloading life and death decisions to flawed technologies

After the fossil gas contract with Musk's X, Anthropic is now signing a $13.7 billion compute deal over six years with Rum Group which operates the far-right Rumble video-sharing platform.
The new datacenter in Maysville is connected to the Georgia grid which runs on ~40% gas and ~15% coal.
If Anthropic had more genuine intentions about saving humanity, it would stop funding far-right groups as well as stop burning that much gas and coal.
Anthropic continues to multiply deals for multiple GW of fossil-powered data-centers.
They might be leading carbon emissions per token with all of these gas deals.
"The frontier AI lab bought commitments for 1.7 gigawatts of heavy-duty generators for $3.4bn in late September from OnePWR Solutions. The transaction is the largest known single purchase of power-generation equipment by an AI lab.”
Good reminder that not all tokens have the same climate impact.

"Anthropic is helping the US National Security Agency deploy its powerful Mythos AI model for offensive cyber operations [... Anthropic] had installed about half a dozen staff within the NSA as so-called forward-deployed engineers to guide the use of the technology and customise models for specific applications“
