According to The Information, Anthropic's senior leaders met with Trump administration officials in Washington on June 15, but the two sides reached no resolution over the government's shutdown of Claude Fable 5. Both parties said they are working to resolve the matter quickly. The Washington Post separately reported that Trump officials had weighed export controls on Anthropic weeks before forcing the models offline, after a dispute involving a China-linked firm that sought access to Anthropic's restricted Mythos model. The episode marks a new escalation in the tension between AI labs and the US government over who controls access to the most powerful AI systems.
