The US Department of Commerce has lifted export controls on Anthropic's advanced AI models Fable 5 and Mythos 5, the company said. The move follows a national security review and reverses restrictions imposed earlier this month.
In a reversal of earlier policy, the US Department of Commerce has lifted export controls on Anthropic's flagship AI models Fable 5 and Mythos 5, the company announced early Wednesday. The decision follows a national security review that had led to a suspension of the models' general release earlier this month over concerns of foreign adversary access.
As The Zioneer reported on June 13, the White House had restricted the models over China-linked access concerns, following discussions between Amazon's CEO and US officials. The new development marks a significant easing, allowing Anthropic to resume broader distribution.
The move comes amid ongoing debate in Washington over the balance between rapid AI advancement and national security controls. The exact scope of the lifted export controls has not been detailed by the department.
