'Way Out of Line': The US Government Is Being Sued for Executive Order Restricting Foreign Access to Project Glasswing
Legion says the takedown of Claude Fable 5 disrupted its lawyers’ AI tools and threatened its survival, according to a court filing.
- Legion LegalTech filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government on Tuesday, challenging an export directive that forced Anthropic to disable its Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models worldwide.
- Two weeks ago, the Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security issued the order, requiring Anthropic to block access for any foreign national due to national security concerns.
- San Jose-based Legion argued in the filing that the directive caused "immediate, irreparable and existential" harm by sidelining its Canadian staff and disrupting core operations.
- Last week, Anthropic restored access to Claude Fable 5 with enhanced nationality-based compliance screening, stating it remains "grateful to the administration" for ongoing security cooperation.
- This case marks a significant shift as Washington uses export controls to regulate commercial AI for the first time, adding stakeholders to the broader clash over government control of frontier models.
