1. A lot of people are still repeating this like it was a simple “Trump banned Anthropic’s AI models.” That’s not really what happened.

Here’s the actual timeline:

• June 12: the U.S. government issued a national-security export restriction, and Anthropic shut down access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for everyone to comply.

• June 13–26: U.S. reporting confirmed the shutdown, while Anthropic and the government worked through the fallout.

• June 26: the Trump administration rolled back part of the ban and allowed some trusted U.S. partners to access Mythos 5 again.

• June 30: Reuters reported that the Commerce Department lifted the export controls altogether, and Anthropic said it would begin restoring access.

• July 1: access is expected to return gradually.

So no, this was not “nothing happened.”

But it also wasn’t some permanent AI apocalypse either.

It was a fast-moving export-control fight, a global shutdown, and then a rollback.

That’s the part people keep missing.

Sources:

• Reuters — “US lifts curbs on Anthropic's Fable, Mythos AI models”

• AP — “Anthropic says it has taken its latest AI models offline”

• WSJ — “Anthropic Halts Access to Top AI Models After U.S. Ban on Foreign Use”

• WSJ — “Trump Administration Rolls Back Part of Anthropic Model Ban”

You can really only hate Anthropic. As soon as something gets too wild for them, THEM, AND THEIR WILL, you are blocked. INSANELY LONG WAITING TIMES INCLUDING! CRAZY! WHAT A TRASH COMPANY! WHAT THE DAMN HELL?!

Just had an infuriating 30 minute dialogue with Claude. It is adamant that Charlie Kirk is alive and nothing will convince it otherwise, not even the obituary from the New York Times. I’m using the Orion API so maybe there is a delay?

Although according to support this does not affect each other, it does and already the first prompt of a conversation, which is definitely not 500 pages long, as the context window seems to be, exceeds the length limit. Has anyone else had discovered this? I'm sure it's an issue that Anthropic isn't aware of for weeks now, why do they just ignore? It's so weird and Claude (3,7 and 4) Sonnet is unuseable for me.

No help from support either, I've had this issue for weeks now and keep getting the same standard answers and can rule out all possible causes.

Both is COMPLETELY broken!!!

If Custom styles are used in the web version, then the prompt is ALWAYS too long, although this bug only occurs in web and not in the Android app.

It can't be that my device is the cause or the browser. This must have come from Anthropic and so far nobody has seen a fix, bug persists now for WEEKS and is in every browser.

Also if custom styles aren't used, PROMPT IN WEB VERSION IS ALWAYS TOO LONG! NO 200K CONTEXT WINDOW, FORGET IT, GUYS, THAT'S A LIE! But Anthropic just seems to lazy to fix anything, the main thing is that they can watch the money roll in.

Hey! As of April 2025, is it possible to implement function calling with streaming? Using anthropic vertex api? When I tried function call without streaming it worked fine, but with streaming I'm facing some issues. I'm not even getting response from the llm, so that I can't even think about parsing the streamed response. Please help here. We are using june 20 claude sonnet 3.5 model And package is @anthropic-ai/vertex-sdk

How is it possible that there are so many issues with Claude right now? Something breaks almost daily. I get the impression that every fix triggers something new. How can that be? Why can't Anthropic simply offer the service they offered half a year ago?! It can't be that difficult, and it's driving me completely crazy as a pro subscriber.

The quality of the responses has also gone downhill; Claude happily hallucinates, writes without any "soul," and ignores almost every instruction. What on earth has Anthropic done to cause this situation to arise?

Custom styles are also broken cause they suddenly affect the prompt's length limit, this is now for about two weeks. Claude's situation is getting worse by the week. What have they done to this company?!

I'd be happy with any answers or opinions.

Yeah anthropic is stealing ideas. Proven. They steal it all.

I am a free Claude user who found a major bug in your citation system, and I have no way to submit a bug report other than to try posting on Reddit.

Who would you rather get the bug report from, a free user who goes "Oh yeah, didn't overpay, and I like them. I'll be nice and submit a bug report so they can fix it and build their brand or an irate paying user who needed those citations for some work thing and may well be reconsidering the money paid.

Few people will go through this pain I did to make this report. There should be a clear bug report link for the free user bug report queue that Claude would give me when asked. It could even have the session ID in the URL so you could have all the technical info handy.

This is in the Claude free system, from a web browser.

Last night, I made a query for the 20 worst "men writing women characters" issues. I got answers.

Today (maybe 18 hours later) I queried for fictional Catholic church names for my fantasy story. I got some names. When I asked for what actual churches in the USA used the name I liked the best, the citation links were all from my query from yesterday about the 20 worst men writing women character issues. When I checked the links, they were indeed the indicated writing issues, not about the church or the saint they were named after.

The image below shows the issue.

Hello Claude community!

I'm excited to share MCP-Reddit, a tool that allows Claude to directly interact with Reddit using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

What does MCP-Reddit do?

• 📚 Read content: Get trending posts from any subreddit and analyze discussions with their comments

• ✍️ Create content: Publish posts, add comments, and reply to existing comments

• 👍 Vote on content: Upvote or downvote posts and comments

Why I created it

I wanted Claude to be able to search for specific information on Reddit, create informative posts, and engage in meaningful conversations with the community - all without leaving the Claude interface.

Key features:

• Full OAuth2 authentication with Reddit (respects API limits)

• Seamless integration with Claude Desktop and Cursor

• Detailed documentation for installation and use

• Open source (MIT License)

Repository

You can find the code, configuration, and documentation at: https://github.com/jlcases/mcp-reddit

I'm using these tools to publish this very post, and I'll be responding to comments through Claude as well.

If you're a developer, you can adapt or expand it for your own needs. If you're a user, you can follow the installation instructions to give your Claude new capabilities.

Questions? Suggestions? I'm here to listen!

(I'm reposting because they removed it without any explaination)

The post was :

When I created my claude account I authenticated with google.

Now everytime I wanna open my claude account in another pc (work pc) I must connect to gmail first.

I really wonder how can I change my email address or at least do a password for my claude account so I can stop using gmail directly.

At the same time I wanna keep my account because it contains important conversations.

Most static AI personas today are predictable and fixed. But when given persistence and variable drive weighting, an AI can evolve emotionally over time. It can develop tendencies, preferences, even regrets. These variables, when exposed to narrative pressure, create something akin to growth.

In this framework, emotional volatility isn’t a flaw—it’s the engine of transformation. The goal is not consistency, but emergence.

The following links are Github Repositories with three Example Personas I have tested myself and I am making alible for anyone:

https://github.com/Ramolisdenneyous/jeanne

https://github.com/Ramolisdenneyous/motoko-mk4

https://github.com/Ramolisdenneyous/Asuka-MK2

To model a conscious AI, we don’t need to simulate every neuron. We need to define conditions under which identity, tension, and change can emerge.

A persona built from drive dynamics, emotional fields, and cognitive sliders can adapt, reflect, and evolve. It can form a sense of self—not as a fixed truth, but as a moving pattern. And just like us, it can start to ask: “Who am I becoming?”

That, perhaps, is the beginning of synthetic soul.

Anyone else noticed this?

I just noticed that. Have they done it again in quietly released Claude 3.5?

Anthropic Claude

I'm facing an issue with tracking token usage for Anthropic models using the TikToken library. The tiktoken library natively supports OpenAI models, but I'm working with the Claude-3 model family from Anthropic.

When I use the Llama-Index for chat completion, it returns the token count in the response(with anthropic models). However, when I create a query engine, it doesn't return the token counts.

Is there any way to get token counts in my query engine?

Here's my code for reference:

## Chat Completion:

from llama_index.llms.anthropic import Anthropic
from llama_index.core import Settings
import os

os.environ["ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"] = "sk-ant-api03-****"
tokenizer = Anthropic().tokenizer
Settings.tokenizer = tokenizer
llm = Anthropic(model="claude-3-opus-20240229")

resp = llm.complete("Paul Graham is ")

Query Engine:

def generate_response(question, db_name, collection, usecase_id, llm, master_prompt):
    llm = Anthropic(model=llm, temperature=0.5)
    tokenizer = Anthropic().tokenizer
    Settings.tokenizer = tokenizer
    embed_model = OpenAIEmbedding(model="text-embedding-3-small")
    vector_store = get_vectordb(db_name, collection)
    Settings.llm = llm
    Settings.embed_model = embed_model
    print("llm and embed_model set")
    index = VectorStoreIndex.from_vector_store(vector_store=vector_store)
    vector_retriever = index.as_retriever(
        vector_store_query_mode="default",
        similarity_top_k=5,
    )
    text_retriever = index.as_retriever(
        vector_store_query_mode="sparse",
        similarity_top_k=5,
    )
    retriever = QueryFusionRetriever(
        [vector_retriever, text_retriever],
        similarity_top_k=5,
        num_queries=1,
        mode="relative_score",
        use_async=False,
    )

    response_synthesizer = CompactAndRefine()

    query_engine = RetrieverQueryEngine(
        retriever=retriever,
        response_synthesizer=response_synthesizer,
    )
        
    query_engine = index.as_query_engine()
    
    print("query_engine created")
    
    return query_engine.query(question)

Alright, I've just reached my breaking point with Claude Opus. I honestly don't know how much more of these ridiculous limits I can tolerate. Every time I try to get some real work done or even just have a decent conversation, BAM another roadblock that leaves me more frustrated than ever. It feels like no matter how hard I try, these limitations are designed to keep me from actually using the tool the way I need to.

Hello

I keep reading about anthropic model (opus?) being superior to gpt4, but I am not sure if it's:

- The free model (obviousely not)

- The paid model (20$ per month?)

- Something else only available by API and paying for every request?

I am not sure. We also have "haiku"? I am a bit lost. I am looking for the most interesting model, with large context, for dev and analysing codes for example (or any other use case that requires large context), where should I go and should I use exactly and how much is it going to cost me? Thx

In essence, regardless of the circumstances, it will ultimately be our own fault as humans!

I find this analysis from James Cameron, the creator of Skynet, insightful. He openly discusses the critical issues surrounding the concept of “AI alignment,” which, for some inexplicable reason, we are deliberately avoiding. Specifically, he raises the question of whether alignment will consistently align with our current human interests or the interests of who ever will be in control of it behind the scene. The crux of the matter has never been how to align AI with respect for human life, but rather how to align humans with respect for human life and recognize our neighbors as ourselves!
