Have a strong feeling that Anthropic solicited the ban from Lutnick as part of their, “so powerful it’s a national security threat” marketing campaign.

Pretty evident as they kicked it off with self-imposed limits (“0days on every OS”) etc, OpenAI didn’t get the same treatment, and the ban was conveniently lifted as soon as they needed to compete.

It can be both — I’m sure the administration would like our stock market not to get ruined by foreign undermining of American AI research companies, and I’m equally sure Anthropic would like to achieve regulatory capture.
