At Washington’s request, Anthropic reportedly took its newest and most powerful AI models offline over the weekend—an abrupt move that has quickly become a case study in how frontier AI access can be reshaped by government decisions, sometimes with little…
For months, Big Tech’s Washington lobbyists have treated AI regulation like a high-stakes endgame: get one national rulebook, lock it in fast, and prevent the messy, uneven patchwork of state-by-state requirements that could force companies to build compliance systems for…
Washington’s latest move to restrict access to Anthropic’s “Mythos” model is being read in Beijing not simply as another episode in the US–China technology contest, but as a strategic opening. The logic from China’s perspective is straightforward: if American policy…
