🚨 The US government has ordered the suspension of access to Anthropic's frontier AI models Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all foreign nationals worldwide, citing national security concerns.
Now imagine a European company, hospital, ministry or public administration that has built critical processes around a frontier AI model.
From one day to the next, access disappears.
Workflows stop. Services are disrupted. Teams scramble to migrate. Millions are spent on emergency replacements.
This is what technological dependence looks like.
When access to critical technologies depends on decisions taken by foreign governments, Europe no longer fully controls its ability to act, compete or innovate.
AI is only one example.
We explored several scenarios showing how Europe could be "switched off" through dependencies in critical technologies, infrastructure and supply chains.

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.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.
