Iirc the ban only applied to non-Americans. While anthropic found collecting citizenship information on all customers too burdensome, it's a much smaller lift to collect such info for your own employees.
So I'm assuming at least a subset of employees could continue using the models during that time.

There is word on the street that they allowed employees to work with a slightly stronger internal version of Mythos (5.1, if you will) that, in their parsing of the order, wasn’t restricted. If true, in practical terms, they ignored the order.
