An AI startup is suing the US government for taking away Anthropic's new model
Summary
Legal tech startup Legion filed a lawsuit in Washington, D.C., challenging a US government order that required Anthropic to restrict access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models to foreign nationals. The order, issued following a letter from the government, forced Anthropic to disable access for everyone initially, causing Legion, a US-based company employing Canadian nationals, to lose critical tools for its litigation platform. Legion argues the directive caused "immediate, irreparable, and existential" harm to its business. This legal action adds to the ongoing tensions between Anthropic and the Trump administration regarding AI safety and government control over frontier models.
