Are government agencies sending prompts to model inference APIs on remote servers? Or are they running the models in their own environment?

It’s worrying to me that Anthropic, a foreign corporation (EDIT: they’re a US corp), would even have the visibility necessary to enforce usage restrictions on US government customers. Or are they baking the restrictions into the model weights?

"Foreign" to who? I interpretted your comment as foreign to the US government (please correct me if I'm wrong) and I was confused because Anthropic is a US company.

Ah my mistake. I thought they were French. I got them confused with Mistral.

The concern remains even if it’s a US corporation though (not government owned servers).

Ah yes - Mistral is the largest of the non-US, non-Chinese AI companies that I'm aware of.

Very much so, I completely agree.
