Trump Admin eases Anthropic ban for 100+ US agencies
the trump administration granted 100+ us agencies and companies access to anthropic's mythos 5, softening a two-week ban. this partial reversal signals that strict model controls may yield to national security needs.
commerce secretary howard lutnick authorized anthropic to deploy mythos 5 to over 100 specific us organizations, including government agencies and companies, explicitly granting access to non-american employees at those firms. this directive modifies the ban enacted two weeks ago that removed mythos 5 and fable 5 from the market after security researchers reportedly bypassed their guardrails. while the administration did not address the status of fable 5 in this letter, the decision indicates a shift toward maintaining some domestic access despite safety concerns. anthropic has not yet commented on the partial lifting of the restrictions.
