Anthropic said that the U.S. government has allowed it to release its powerful Claude Mythos 5 artifical intelligence model to some "trusted" U.S. organizations, partially reversing an order two weeks ago to suspend access over national security risks.

Concern that powerful AI systems could be misused by military intelligence users in China, Russia or other countries of concern has prompted President Donald Trump's administration to take an aggressive approach to oversight of releases of Anthropic's and rival OpenAI's frontier models.
