  • Anthropic announced that the Department of Commerce has lifted export controls on its AI models, Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5.
  • This decision came after the U.S. government had previously restricted access to these models due to potential national security concerns.
  • The company complied with initial export control directives but disagreed with the government’s assessment of the cybersecurity risks.
  • Anthropic worked with the government to address these concerns and has now restored full global access to Fable 5 and access for select U.S. organizations to Mythos 5.
  • Additionally, Anthropic introduced new AI models, including aClaude Sonnet that can function autonomously, and a new AI workbench for scientists called Claude Science.
