Cybersecurity experts urge Trump admin to lift curbs on Anthropic AI models

A group of cybersecurity executives and experts is asking the Trump administration to lift its directive preventing the use of Anthropic's latest artificial intelligence models by foreign nationals, saying the move could help US adversaries more than it hurts them. Anthropic said Friday it has taken its latest artificial intelligence models, known as Fable 5 and Mythos 5, offline to comply with the directive. The AI giant said it did not believe the steps taken by the government were warranted by the concern it flagged about a potential security issue. Anthropic has said it was limiting use of some its latest technology to select customers because of its ability to surpass human cybersecurity experts in finding and exploiting computer vulnerabilities. The San Francisco-based company has had discussions with the White House previously about the latest models' capabilities.

Government agencies and private sector firms are among a select group of Indian organisations that have secured access to Anthropic's Mythos artificial intelligence model as part of the recent expansion of Project Glasswing, according to sources familiar with the matter. Asked about the number of Indian entities that have got access to the model, sources said the figure is in the single digit for now. An email sent to Anthropic did not elicit an immediate response.
