US Government Grants Limited Access to Anthropic's AI Model 'Mythos-5'

Washington DC. The US government has allowed some specific organizations related to cybersecurity to establish limited access to the technology company Anthropic's advanced artificial intelligence (AI) model 'Mythos-5'.

Showing serious national security concerns and risks, US officials had previously imposed a complete ban on the use of the said AI model. Anthropic has stated that after improving its security measures, the US government has reopened access for limited use.

According to a company spokesperson, Anthropic will continue to discuss with the US administration about further expanding access to Mythos-5 and making another powerful AI model 'Fable-5' available to the general public. Previously, citing weaknesses in AI security systems, the US government had directed a ban on these two advanced AI models of Anthropic on June 12, which also sparked a major debate regarding government intervention in the technology sector.

US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said that Anthropic company has worked responsibly with the government to reduce national security risks associated with its AI models. He mentioned that there has been significant progress in the company's recent security efforts. Similarly, Commerce Department spokesperson Beno Cass clarified that America is continuously working to maintain its global leadership in the AI sector while ensuring the security of technology.

Previously, Anthropic's relationship with US defense agencies had become somewhat strained after it refused to allow its advanced technology to be used for mass surveillance and automated weapon systems.

Meanwhile, Anthropic's main competitor OpenAI has also released its new AI model to the market with limited access. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said that although the strict control process adopted by the government is not entirely appropriate, they are working in such difficult circumstances. US President Donald Trump had issued an executive order earlier this month mandating a review of national security risks before any advanced AI system is released to the public, although the detailed process for implementing the order remains unclear.
