On June 24, Bloomberg broke the news that Legion, an artificial intelligence (AI) startup leveraging Anthropic's sophisticated large-scale models, has initiated legal proceedings against the U.S. government. The dispute arose after the government issued an order to Anthropic, prohibiting it from extending access to its cutting-edge models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5, to non-U.S. citizens. Consequently, Legion's Canadian staff members found themselves unable to utilize these advanced tools, dealing a substantial setback to the company's operations and prompting the decision to sue.
