The Trump administration is lifting export controls on Anthropic’s two most powerful AI models after the company reached a deal with the Commerce Department. The news was communicated in a letter sent by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to Anthropic cofounder Tom Brown viewed by WIRED.
The department is lifting restrictions on both the Fable 5 model and the more powerful Mythos 5 model, which had so far been approved for release only to select companies and government agencies. “A license is no longer required for the export, reexport, or in-country transfer, including deemed export or deemed reexport, of the Mythos or Fable models,” Lutnick wrote.
The developments come as Anthropic has been working with the Commerce Department and the White House to strengthen safeguards against users bypassing Fable's safety restrictions to access restricted capabilities, especially those related to cybersecurity, according to people familiar with the matter.
“Among other things, Anthropic has agreed to proactively detect and address security risks associated with the models; to work diligently with the U.S. government on protocols and standards and releases for Mythos, Fable, and future models,” Lutnick wrote. Lutnick has been leading the Trump administration's efforts to resolve its dispute with Anthropic alongside the national cyber director Sean Cairncross.
