Trump Admin Allows Release Of Anthropic's Mythos To Certain US Companies

Authored by Aldgra Fredly via The Epoch Times,

American artificial intelligence company Anthropic said on June 26 that the government has authorized it to release Claude Mythos 5, its most advanced AI model, to certain U.S. organizations, reversing a previous order that suspended access over security concerns.

The Trump administration on June 12 issued an export control directive to suspend access to Mythos 5 and Fable 5 - which shares the same underlying model as Mythos 5 but was designed for general use.

Anthropic said at the time that the government believed it had identified a method of jailbreaking Fable 5. Jailbreaking is the process of exploiting vulnerabilities to circumvent a software's built-in safety guardrails.

In the latest development, Anthropic said the government had informed it that Mythos 5 could be redeployed to "a small group of cyber defenders and infrastructure providers."

"We are working to provision the approved set of providers and restore their access to Mythos 5 as quickly as possible," an Anthropic spokesperson said in an emailed statement to The Epoch Times.

"We are pleased to see this progress and continue to work with the government to expand access to Mythos 5 and make Fable 5 available for general use again."

The U.S. Department of Commerce did not extend that approval to Fable 5.

The department informed Anthropic of the change in a letter dated June 26, which was obtained by The Epoch Times.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said in the letter that he has concluded that "appropriate safeguards are in place to permit certain trusted partners to access the Claude Mythos 5 model."

"Since the issuance of my June 12 letter, Anthropic has worked with the U.S. government to address risks associated with the covered models. These efforts have yielded significant progress," he wrote.

Lutnick said that Anthropic has committed to working with the government to develop protocols and standards for the AI models. He did not specify how many companies would be granted access to Mythos 5 or the criteria for selecting them.

Meanwhile, OpenAI also announced on June 26 the preview release of its new model, GPT-5.6, which will be limited to a small group of users approved by the Trump administration.

The Pentagon designated Anthropic as a supply-chain risk in March after the company refused to change the user policy for its Claude model to grant the government unrestricted access, citing concerns that the technology could be used for mass surveillance or for fully autonomous weapons. The Pentagon said in February that it had no intention to use AI for such purposes and that it only asked Anthropic to allow it to use Claude models for "all lawful purposes."

The designation, imposed under a federal law designed to protect military systems from foreign sabotage, prevents the company from doing business with the federal government and its contractors.

Hezbollah Supporters Block Roads, Encircle Govt Buildings In Beirut Over Israel Deal: 'They Sold Us Out'

Mass protests broke out in Beirut on Friday into Saturday, with supporters of Hezbollah voicing their outrage at the Lebanese government having just signed a 'trilateral peace framework' with Israel and the United States, despite the IDF occupation of southern territory and sporadic Israeli bombings persisting. 

Hundreds of motorcycle-riding supporters were also seen circling streets through central Beirut, near the parliament building and along airport road. In some cases protesters blocked roads near sensitive government buildings, and were seen burning tires. The national army has set up checkpoints, seeking to return order, but in some cases didn't immediately move to disperse the protests.

"We certainly condemn and denounce this shameful agreement," a 30-year old protesters from Blida, a town in southern Lebanon that Israel has occupied for months, told the NY Times. According to more:

One criticism of the preliminary deal is that the timeline for Israel’s withdrawal is not fixed, instead being based on how quickly Hezbollah can be disarmed. "The enemy is being granted freedom of movement and the ability to make whatever decisions it wants in the south," Mr. Kassem said.

Washington has long been seeking to push Hezbollah's influence out of national politics, and to ultimately see the Iran-backed group disarmed and its power neutered.

The protester's have in turn exclaimed: 

"They sold us out!"

The Trump administration and Israel have been hailing it as 'historic' - also as the US is seeking to ensure the conflict in Lebanon won't derail the broader peace deal with Iran, toward getting the Strait of Hormuz open again.

Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem has meanwhile in new denunciatory words on Saturday charged that Lebanon's government has given legitimacy to Israel's "occupation for many years to come" by signing the deal.

"This could even lead to the annexation of these lands to the Zionist entity," Qassem said. "We say to the Lebanese authorities: It is time for you to retract your sins that are destroying Lebanon."

The Hezbollah Secretary-General vowed to remain "ready to cooperate and stand together for the sovereignty of Lebanon, the liberation of its land, the expulsion of the Israeli occupier."

He also said that the US deal links Israel's withdrawal to Hezbollah's disarmament throughout Lebanon, which "is an extremely dangerous proposition that crosses all red lines and makes Lebanon a pawn in the hands of the Israeli enemy."

"The authorities are legitimizing the occupation for many years to come, and this could even lead to the annexation of these lands to the Zionist entity. Any agreement must be confined to the area south of the Litani River," he added, stressing the Shia paramilitary group's resistance to these developments will be steadfast.

Hezbollah had all along refused to be at the table for the Washington-hosted talks, and it accused Israel of a war of aggression on Lebanese territory, with an aim to expand Israel's borders.
