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.

Nobody wants to admit it but "vibecoding" works until your app has actual users. Then you discover what senior engineers have been getting paid for.

Here's a robotic welding cell I designed and built for a run of 20,000 parts. The customer contracted me to build the system using dual arm Fanuc robots, Lincoln welders. I designed and built the 3 axis servo ferris wheel positioner, as well as the fixtures and tooling in my shop. The customer purchased the system after the part run was completed.

The NSA spent billions trying to break encryption.
One German programmer beat them.
He earned only $25k a year. 🤯
Meet Werner Koch 🇩🇪
> German free software developer. Born 1961 in Düsseldorf.
> 1997 ~ Richard Stallman called for a free encryption tool.
> Only option then: closed-source, US-restricted PGP.
> Werner answered. He built GnuPG (GPG) alone ~ free software to encrypt files, sign software, and verify identity.
> 1999 ~ Released GPG 1.0. Fully open source. No restrictions.
> Today his code verifies every Linux server update, every Debian package, every Tor Browser download on this Earth.
> Every signed Linux release depends on it.
> Used by activists, dissidents, and security pros worldwide to stay untracked.
> Edward Snowden used GPG in 2013 to leak NSA documents. It held up against the world’s most powerful spy agency. 🚀
> 2001 ~ Founded g10code with his brother to work full-time on GPG.
> Earned only $25,000/year for 14 years while supporting his wife and daughter.
> 2012 ~ Funding ended. He had to let go of his only programmer.
> 2013 ~ He was the sole maintainer and nearly quit.
> 2015 ~ ProPublica story dropped. Internet donated $137k in 24 hours.
> Facebook + Stripe pledged $50k/year each. Linux Foundation gave $60k
> Won FSF Award for the Advancement of Free Software.
> Today he still maintains GPG from home in Erkrath, Germany.
This one man kept the internet’s secrets, secret.
The world almost lost him in 2013.
His code still protects yours.
Privacy Legend. 🐐

NEURA raising at a ~$7B valuation is not just one startup story.
Agile Robots, Helsing, Stark, Schaeffler, Bosch and the EIB all point in the same direction:
Germany is trying to turn its old industrial base into a robotics base.
The US sells the future louder.
China scales the future faster.
But Europe, and especially Germany, still has something very few places can copy:
deep manufacturing memory.
The humanoid race will not be won only by demos.
It will be won by whoever can industrialise robots.

German robotics companies are starting to put Europe on the map for physical AI. FT reports NEURA Robotics has secured $1.4B at a ~$7B valuation for humanoid and cognitive robotics. Backing includes: Tether, Qualcomm, Amazon, Nvidia, Bosch, Schaeffler and the European Investment Bank. According to the release, NEURA wants to scale humanoid robot production capacity from 6,000 units this year to tens of thousands next year, with a longer-term target of producing millions of AI-powered robotic arms and humanoids by 2030. It also reports a >$1B order book for its robots, including humanoids. NEURA is not the only German robotics capital story either. Agile Robots is reportedly in talks to raise around $800M, with SoftBank discussing a $300M contribution, for a business spanning industrial arms, warehouse robots and humanoids. This surfaced June 2. On the defence-autonomy side, Helsing was reported in May to be nearing a $1.2B round at an ~$18B valuation, while Stark was reported last week to be in talks to raise €300M at around €2.5B. The structural reason is not hard to see: Germany has deep industrial automation, automotive supply chains, precision manufacturing and defence rearmament tailwinds.

A German robotics company has just raised $1.4bn to challenge Unitree Robotics and Tesla.
It's raised from Tether, Qualcomm, Amazon and Nvidia, as well as others, at a $7bn valuation.
@NEURARobotics is building robots that can see, hear, feel and learn, as well as the software, AI and data infrastructure required to deploy them at scale.
German NEURA Robotics has raised an INSANE $1.4bn to challenge Unitree Robotics and Tesla! 🇩🇪
David Reger, who founded the company in 2019, told the FT:
"This is the last chance for Europe to actually ever produce again in the world . . . if we own the physical AI stack and the robotics stack,”
This is amazing news for Europe and Germany which is massively at risk of falling too far behind the US and China on Robotics.

@Polymarket Robotics should be a natural strength.
