Europe's AI sovereignty problem goes far beyond frontier model access: from Anthropic's supply cutoff to application-layer dependence

The U.S. government over the weekend ordered Anthropic to cut off foreign access to two advanced AI models, and Europe widely views this as a wake-up call that dependence can be cut off at any time. A series of analyses argue that Europe's AI sovereignty problem goes far beyond frontier model access: its market is deeply intertwined with the U.S.-dominated ecosystem, and merely boosting supply and demand cannot untangle it. Lovable routes prompts to Anthropic and Google models, and Anthropic subsequently launched a similar app builder to compete with customers.
