The US government has allowed Anthropic to release its powerful Mythos AI model to select companies and organizations, revising license requirements after ordering an export block earlier this month in the wake of national security fears.
Background
Since the export ban earlier in June, Anthropic has worked with the US government to address risks associated with the Covered Models, according to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.
The letter does not include permission for Anthropic to release Fable, a less powerful version of Mythos. Anthropic said in a statement that it received notice from the US government that Mythos 5, its strongest cybersecurity model, can be redeployed to a small group of cyber defenders and infrastructure providers.
The export ban and subsequent negotiations with Anthropic underscored the lack of a consistent regulatory framework around AI, even as the technology advances rapidly and the US tries to stay ahead of global competitors like China.
