Anthropic irks White House with limits on models’ use

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).

Anthropic is pretty clearly using the Häagen-Dasz approach here, call yourself Anthropic and your product Claude so you seem French. Why?

According to Claude, it’s named after Claude Shannon, who was American.
