US lifts block on UK AI Safety Institute accessing frontier models
white house reverses decision to block uk's ai security institute from accessing new ai models from anthropic, google deepmind, and openai.
the white house initially blocked the uk's ai security institute (aisi) from accessing new ai models in september. anthropic had restricted access to its claude mythos 5.1 model. after diplomatic efforts by ai minister kanishka narayan, the block has been lifted, allowing aisi to access models from anthropic, google deepmind, and openai again. this development is significant as it impacts the safety testing of advanced ai models.
