US allows Anthropic to release Mythos to ‘trusted partners’

The US government on Friday allowed Anthropic to release its powerful Claude Mythos 5 AI model to some “trusted partners,” according to a Commerce Department letter seen by Reuters.

The action comes two weeks after the government ordered the AI firm to suspend access to some of its models, due to fears they could ‌be deployed ⁠by military ⁠intelligence users in China, Russia or other countries of concern.
