Austria lobbies the EU to host Anthropic
According to Bloomberg, Austria is negotiating with the EU to host Anthropic on its territory. The initiative follows US restrictions on foreign access to the company’s most powerful models.
US export controls on the Mythos 5 and Fable 5 models have effectively cut off European users from Anthropic’s advanced systems. Hosting the infrastructure in Austria could potentially provide the EU with access that bypasses these US restrictions.
The news received 9 points on Hacker News with two comments. Details regarding the hosting scheme and Anthropic’s official stance remain undisclosed.
