Moonshot AI commits to open-sourcing full model weights, further challenging U.S. model dependency.
Moonshot AI releases Kimi K3
Kimi K3 becomes the first Chinese model to top a major coding leaderboard, surpassing Fable 5 and GPT-5.6.
Fable 5 partially restored
Fable 5 access resumes with added safeguards, but Mythos 5 remains limited to approved U.S. institutions.
Follow-up letter carves out trusted partners
Commerce Department issues a second letter narrowing the restriction to allow access for certain trusted foreign partners.
Directive Received and Models Offline
Anthropic receives a directive from the U.S. government on Friday afternoon to prevent foreign nationals from accessing its latest models, leading the company to take Fable 5 and Mythos 5 offline.
Commerce Department order
Anthropic ordered via unpublished letter to suspend foreign access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 worldwide, invoking export controls.

G7 Summit lunch discussion
President Macron warns U.S. leaders and AI CEOs that the ability to 'turn off the switch' on AI models would hurt both dependent economies and U.S. AI companies.
Z.ai releases GLM-5.2
Chinese lab Z.ai ships open-weight model GLM-5.2 under MIT license; NIST evaluators later call it the most capable open-weight model at release.
China's control over 70% of global indium phosphide, essential for AI data center lasers, combined with alleged disinformation campaigns, is creating a two-front squeeze on U.S. AI infrastructure expansion. The bottleneck raises costs and delays critical AI hardware deployment, challenging America's AI ambitions.
The AI industry is witnessing a pivotal moment: while U.S. regulators secretly blocked global access to Anthropic's most capable models, Chinese labs released open-weight rivals that now lead coding benchmarks. This shifts the competitive landscape from pure performance to access reliability and forces enterprises to reassess model sourcing strategies.
The report places artificial intelligence at the core of a new scientific golden age, recommending AI be woven into the entire $200 billion federal research enterprise, from grant-making to lab operations and discovery.
Anthropic abruptly took its latest AI models offline following a U.S. export control directive, just 10 days after a voluntary executive order. The shutdown of Fable 5 and Mythos 5 raises urgent questions about the future of model deployment, regulatory overreach, and international AI access.
