BRUSSELS — The U.S. order to suspend foreigners' access to Anthropic's latest models is a stark reminder for Europe that it's heavily reliant on American AI models — and that the window to change that is closing.

The U.S. Commerce Department on Friday [ordered](https://www.anthropic.com/news/fable-mythos-access) Anthropic to cut non-U.S. citizens' access to the company's latest models. Anthropic [suspended access for everyone](https://www.politico.eu/article/anthropic-suspends-access-to-latest-ai-models-following-us-order/), including U.S. citizens.

Europe got the message: for the first time, Washington had pulled the plug on Europeans' access to U.S. cutting-edge technology.
