No breakthrough in Anthropic talks with Trump administration

Anthropic, an AI startup, met with the Trump administration to discuss restoring access to two AI models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5, which were blocked over national security concerns.
Anthropic had suspended access to these models to comply with a US national security order.
The company denounced the White House’s move but has taken a conciliatory posture, working with the administration to address the national security issues.
Mythos 5, a highly advanced AI model, has the potential to identify software vulnerabilities that could be exploited by hackers.
The government’s directive banned foreign nationals from accessing Fable 5 and Mythos 5 due to national security concerns.
Despite this intervention, the White House has generally sought to ease AI oversight and has even prohibited states from creating their own AI regulations.
President Trump signed an executive order to review national security risks in advanced AI models before their release.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has publicly supported the Pentagon’s decision to cut ties with Anthropic, suggesting it was the right move.
