After several weeks of tension over control of advanced artificial intelligence models, the US administration has changed its position towards Anthropic. The US government now allows certain organizations to use Claude Mythos 5, while other access remains limited. This decision comes in a context where Washington seeks to strengthen surveillance of sensitive technologies. The measure mainly concerns selected American partners and marks a new stage in the management of innovative AI tools.
In brief
- Washington partially lifts the blockade on Claude Mythos 5, allowing access to more than 100 selected American companies and institutions.
- Anthropic obtains limited authorization for its AI model, while the consumer version Fable 5 still remains on hold.
- The Commerce Department requires controlled access to advanced technologies, with a system based on trust and cybersecurity.
- The Glasswing project confirms the usefulness of Claude Mythos 5, particularly for detecting vulnerabilities in different systems.
- The United States is increasing its oversight of artificial intelligence models, an approach that could influence the global diffusion of AI tools.
Claude Mythos 5 regains supervised access with American partners
The Department of Commerce, through Secretary Howard Lutnick, announced the end of the blockade on the export of Mythos 5 to more than 100 American institutions. This authorization concerns major companies and government agencies considered to be trusted partners. Claude thus benefits from a more flexible framework, but only for the actors present in a list validated by the authorities.
I have determined that appropriate safeguards are in place to allow certain trusted partners access to the Claude Mythos 5 model.

The decision is based on guarantees deemed sufficient by Secretary Howard Lutnick. The restrictions began after concerns about the risks of misuse of advanced models. Washington has maintained a cautious approach to the growing capabilities of artificial intelligence systems. The model was notably used in a research program intended to identify vulnerabilities.
Before this development, Mythos 5 participated in Glasswing projectwhich brought together around 150 organizations in several countries. Tests carried out with this tool made it possible to identify flaws in certain sensitive systems. This experience has reinforced the authorities' interest in controlled access to AI technologies. The Anthropic group, however, continues to manage the conditions of use of the Claude model.
Washington strengthens its control over artificial intelligence models
The move comes as Washington gradually builds a new verification system for innovative models. A presidential decree established a voluntary mechanism allowing developers to submit their creations to a cybersecurity analysis before publication. The objective remains to better regulate the tools capable of having a significant impact.
However, the restrictions are not just for Anthropic. Washington has also observed similar measures with other players in the sector. An AI company has limited access to its most powerful model for certain approved partners, while less advanced versions remain available to the public. This development shows a new organization of the advanced technology market.
The debate also focused on the risks linked to international access. Early concerns included the possibility of certain technologies reaching unauthorized actors. Cybersecurity officials have called for a review of the measuresbelieving that controls should remain balanced. American authorities now face different expectations depending on companies and foreign partners.
Next steps and advanced AI models
Despite the partial lifting of the blockage, the situation remains different depending on the versions proposed by Anthropic. The general public version Fable 5 remains on hold, while its development continues. Claude Mythos 5 therefore benefits from specific treatment thanks to its professional and institutional use.
Negotiations around Fable 5 remain open and their timetable remains uncertain. This separation between professional and public models illustrates the desire to limit certain uses before wider distribution. The American authorities will still have to clarify their approach to the rapid developments in the artificial intelligence sector.
Upcoming decisions could also influence relations between the United States and its allies. Several international partners carefully follow American rules regarding access to advanced technologies. For Anthropic, the authorization granted to Claude Mythos 5 represents an important step, but it does not resolve all questions related to global distribution.
The evolution of the file will therefore depend on the next decisions between security, innovation and access to artificial intelligence models. Claude could continue to benefit from progressive authorizations, while the American authorities will continue their surveillance of the most sensitive tools.
