- Anthropic disabled two products identified as Fable 5 and Mythos 5, giving staff less than 90 minutes of notice before the shutdown
- Workers at the AI company have been "puzzled and increasingly concerned" by the Trump administration's moves, according to the New York Times
- Some staff privately wonder whether the Trump administration is deliberately "bullying" the startup, the Times reports
Why it matters: A sub-two-hour shutdown window for two named products signals an unusually abrupt decision inside Anthropic, and the fact that employees are linking it to administration pressure turns an internal operational event into a test of the startup's independence from federal influence.
