The directive was to remove access to non-Americans, not to pull access from everyone. It’s because Anthropic cannot verify the identity of its users that it pulled access from everyone, not because the government explicitely requested that.
- greatpatton 4mo agoIf their operation team is not US based that's going to be difficult to operate. They would have to reorganize the whole company as I'm pretty sure that they are not employing only US citizen.
- msm_ 4mo ago>I'm pretty sure that they are not employing only US citizen Understatement. They have 14 offices, only 4 of them are in the US (6 are in EMEA, 4 in APAC).
- JumpCrisscross 4mo ago> directive was to remove access to non-Americans Did Hegseth pull his supply-chain risk BS?
- sailfast 4mo agoNo - this was a separate power unrelated to the supply chain risk which is still in effect.
- scottyah 4mo agoWell, kinda in effect. He lacked the authority to make the call, and it is quite obviously being ignored by most suppliers. If it were actually enforced, I believe no companies that are contractors for the DoD could even host Anthropic- like GCP, Azure, and AWS. Perhaps they are currently figuring out how to get off all cloud provider govclouds, but I doubt it.
- kelnos 4mo agoYes that's what "effectively" means.
