Trump is traveling to Paris for the G7 summit on Wednesday

US President Donald Trump attends a dinner at the Palace of Versailles on Wednesday as part of the G7 summit in France. This was announced by a high-ranking US official in Washington on Saturday. Trump will also attend a G7 working session with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday, Washington said.

The G7 summit takes place from Monday to Wednesday in Evian, France. It was postponed specifically so that Trump could still celebrate his 80th birthday on Sunday with a cage fighting show in front of the White House.

To ensure that he stays at the G7 summit until the end and does not leave early like he did at the G7 summit in Canada last year, French President Emmanuel Macron has invited people to dinner at the magnificent Palace of Versailles on Wednesday evening.

Anthropic blocks access to its AI models

In order to comply with an order from the US authorities due to national security concerns, the company Anthropic has had to block access to its two powerful AI models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5. Just three days after the public launch of Fable 5 – a scaled-down version of Mythos 5 – the US artificial intelligence (AI) company said it had received a government directive prohibiting foreign nationals from accessing the two AI models. The instruction also applies to foreigners who work for Anthropic.

Since Anthropic cannot distinguish its users according to their nationality, the consequence is that “we must immediately deactivate Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all of our customers in order to ensure compliance with the regulations,” the company explained. As the news portal “Axios” reported, the order came from US Treasury Secretary Howard Lutnick. His ministry did not initially respond to a request for comment from the AFP news agency.

Anthropic said the government did not explain in the letter what its specific concern was. However, Anthropic suspects that the government has become aware of a method by which the security measures of the Fable 5 model could be bypassed in such a way that it could be used for hacker attacks. “We dispute that the discovery of a potential circumvention of the security measures surrounding Fable 5 justifies the recall of a business model that serves hundreds of millions of people,” Anthropic said.
