Trump Eases Ban on Anthropic's Mythos 5 Model

The Trump administration is partially lifting its ban on Anthropic's cybersecurity AI models, allowing Mythos 5 to be accessed by more than 100 U.S. government agencies and companies. The directive, signed by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, also permits non-American employees at those organizations to use the model. The ban was imposed after security researchers allegedly bypassed the models' guardrails. Fable 5 remains restricted under the new directive. Anthropic confirmed it is restoring access for organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure, while continuing to work with the government to expand access further.
