US assures India of stable AI technology access after Anthropic model suspension

Weeks after the US curtailed access to Anthropic’s AI models worldwide, including in India, Washington has assured New Delhi that technology access, once granted, will not be abruptly withdrawn. The commitment was conveyed by US officials during talks with India, according to IT Secretary S. Krishnan.

Krishnan, speaking to reporters after a bilateral meeting with US Under Secretary of State for Economic Affairs Jacob Helberg on Wednesday, said Washington had explained the rationale behind its decision to suspend Anthropic’s Mythos 5 and Fable 5 models globally, while separately assuring India that access already extended to trusted partners would remain unaffected.
