I am having trouble understanding which ingredient you feel is missing here.

Can you be more specific? It seems to me that the there was a third party assessment, they identified risks associated with the specific risk groups, and the government therefore chose to block the model's deployment.

You have to be precise: the gov blocked “export” of the model (search for ITAR for a lengthy history on this), and Anthropic picked up its ball and went home.

I’m willing to bet internally they thought this was a good plan from the beginning - from engagement, requests for reg oversight, Mythos PR, silently nerfing AI engineering quality, and now this “pulling the model” stunt. It’s frustrating, I generally like using the Claude models, but I don’t think I’ve ever been a customer of such a user-hostile company before.
