Chinese and Japanese companies launch AI models, claim they are as powerful as Anthropic’s Mythos

The sudden regional product launches come just two weeks after the Trump administration deployed emergency national security export controls, abruptly pulling Anthropic’s cutting-edge systems offline for all non-American users.
