The US administration has officially removed the special license requirement that Anthropic company required for the export of advanced artificial intelligence models called Mythos and Fable abroad. Effective as of Wednesday, July 1, the public will begin to have access to these models again.

Export restrictions imposed in mid-June made it impossible to share models with individuals of foreign origin and restricted Anthropic’s operations. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick announced that as a result of the talks with Anthropic, the company promised to actively monitor security risks and work in full harmony with the government.

With this decision, the USA aims to strengthen its hand in the race for global leadership in artificial intelligence technologies.

A compromise was reached between the US Administration and the Company

The restrictions imposed at the beginning of June were considered by industry experts as a tool to increase the government’s pressure on Anthropic, rather than a security measure.

Company executives’ criticism of the government’s use of technology was seen as the main reason behind this breakthrough. However, the statements of Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick show that the process has evolved into a new cooperation model.

Anthropic is committed to being transparent about the safe use of the Mythos and Fable models and to immediately report any potentially malicious activity.

Competitive Pressure Became the End of Restrictions

Stability in the industry has changed rapidly, especially with the rise of Asian-based artificial intelligence initiatives. The launch of models such as Fugu and Tulonfeng with talent approaching Mythos has put significant pressure on Washington.

It became necessary for the government to adopt a more flexible approach in order to prevent American technology from falling behind in the global market.

Administrative policies that create uncertainty in the technology world have become a new test for industry players.

Future Artificial Intelligence Policies Are Taking Shape

The Trump administration’s variable policies on artificial intelligence leave giant companies such as Anthropic and OpenAI in a difficult position in their future planning.

In particular, the administrative order issued in June requiring new models to undergo government review before being released to the market was harshly criticized by industry analysts.

Names such as Dean W. Ball, who works at OpenAI, continue to warn that such regulations may slow down innovation. Although models such as Mythos and Fable are currently available to approved customers, it is still not clear how full public access will be managed.
