This decision, two weeks after both Mythos 5 and Fable 5 were pulled, comes with "appropriate safeguards," though Fable 5 remains restricted.
Anthropic's advanced AI model, Mythos 5, is partially reinstated for select cybersecurity and infrastructure providers after two weeks of negotiations with the Trump administration. The public-facing Fable 5 remains restricted. This limited return is an exception to an export control directive, similar to a deal granted to OpenAI's GPT-5.6, highlighting evolving US AI regulation.

Companies opting for pre-release review may receive confidentiality protections.
An intense internal power struggle within the Trump administration has stalled US federal AI regulation, leaving a policy vacuum after Anthropic's Mythos model revealed critical cybersecurity risks. Factions within the Commerce Department, intelligence agencies, and pro-industry groups are locked in a "knife fight" over who gets to evaluate and oversee advanced AI systems. This paralysis follows the abrupt cancellation of a landmark executive order and the unexplained withdrawal of AI testing announcements.

Staunch Trump supporters are now publicly questioning if he is the Antichrist, a dramatic shift from their previous perception of him as "God's chosen president." This re-evaluation was primarily triggered by an AI-generated image of Trump resembling Jesus Christ, alongside his administration's actions regarding the Iran war and recent criticism of the Vatican. High-profile conservative figures have openly expressed concern, calling the behavior blasphemous or indicative of an "Antichrist spirit." This growing schism could have significant political implications for Trump and the Republican Party, particularly among Catholic voters.
