I don't understand why people believe this conspiracy theory of "oh the government ban was just marketing". That claim feels so incredibly ridiculous to me. It cost Anthropic a ton of money and reputation, and worst of all: it absolutely killed their competitive advantage. They were 1-2 months ahead of OpenAI, but trump conveniently gave OpenAI the time they needed to catch up and push 5.6 out the door without having to lose their subscriber base to the competitor.
