WASHINGTON: Anthropic said on Friday that the U.S. government has allowed it to release \u200bits powerful Claude Mythos 5 artificial intelligence model to some \u201ctrusted\u201d U.S. organizations, partially reversing a two-week-old order to suspend access over national security risks.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 100 \u200ccompanies and institutions will now have access to Mythos 5, including many Fortune 500 companies, a source familiar with the new directive said, declining to be identified due to the sensitivity of the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Concern that powerful AI systems could be misused by military intelligence users in China, Russia, or other countries of concern has prompted President Donald Trump\u2019s administration to take an aggressive approach to oversight of releases of Anthropic\u2019s and rival OpenAI\u2019s frontier models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OpenAI said earlier in the day that it \u200bwas delaying a full public launch of GPT-5.6 at the U.S. government\u2019s request, limiting its access to a small group of vetted partners whose details were shared with the authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anthropic \u200bhad abruptly disabled its most advanced AI models \u2014 Mythos 5 and Fable 5 \u2014 for all users after the government\u2019s June 12 export control order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday, the government notified \u2060us that Mythos 5, our strongest cybersecurity model, can be redeployed to a set of US organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure,\u201d Anthropic said in a statement on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re restoring access for these \u200borganizations quickly, and we\u2019re continuing to work with the government to expand access to Mythos 5 and make Fable 5 available for general use again,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GOVERNMENT CRITICISED FOR PICKING WHO GETS ACCESS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The government\u2019s vetting \u200bof which companies can gain access to Mythos has drawn much criticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo one knows how these companies are picked and why everyone else is excluded,\u201d said John Coleman, legislative counsel for the Philadelphia-based nonpartisan free speech organization, the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is putting too much power in the hands of the government. There\u2019s little transparency and it raises questions about the rule of law.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OpenAI boss Sam Altman echoed concerns about the government\u2019s choosing of who gets \u200baccess to top models in a post on X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Extensive safety testing \u201cis not a bad idea. I just don\u2019t like the idea of the government picking the customers,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experts have said that Mythos models, \u200bin the wrong hands, could dramatically accelerate sophisticated cyberattacks, particularly in sectors such as banking that rely on complex, interconnected, and often decades-old technology systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A letter from U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to Anthropic said there had been \u201csignificant \u200cprogress\u201d in \u2060work done by the company with the government to address \u201crisks associated with the Covered Models.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was not immediately clear what safeguards had been adopted. Anthropic said earlier this month that it understood the government believed there is a method of bypassing, or \u201cjailbreaking,\u201d a safeguard that would prevent Fable 5 from being used in identifying software vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NO EXPORT LICENSE NEEDED FOR NON-US CITIZENS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lutnick said in the letter that an export license will no longer be needed for Mythos 5 to trusted companies and their employees who are not U.S. citizens, or to Anthropic\u2019s employees who are not U.S. citizens, but licensing restrictions will remain in place for \u200bcompanies that are not on the approved list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The source \u200bsaid many of the approved companies are \u2060part of Anthropic\u2019s Project Glasswing, which includes about 100 well-known tech companies and institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government is also moving towards allowing Anthropic to release Fable soon, although a timeline is unclear, the source said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both Fable 5 and Mythos use the same underlying AI model, but Fable 5 is designed to be widely available \u200bfor public use whereas some safeguards are lifted for Mythos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both Anthropic and OpenAI plan to go public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anthropic\u2019s relationship with the U.S. government has, however, been \u200bparticularly rocky. The company refused \u2060to allow the U.S. military to use its AI models for domestic surveillance and fully autonomous weapons systems and the government retaliated by putting it on a national security blacklist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government\u2019s restrictions on Anthropic and OpenAI follow Trump\u2019s signing of an executive order this month establishing a voluntary framework for AI developers to offer \u201ccovered frontier models\u201d to the U.S. government for up to 30 days before releasing them to trusted partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The administration\u2019s latest \u2060order is \u201ca practical \u200binterim step, but leaves unresolved the larger issue of how companies can widely release updated models,\u201d said Kate Koren, an \u200banalyst at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington and a former Commerce Department official.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe longer there isn\u2019t a system in place that will allow U.S. companies to widely release new models, the more likely it is that China will be \u200bable to catch up,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
