Trump Admin releases Anthropic Mythos to be used by more than 100 US companies, agencies
Over 100 companies and government agencies are reportedly authorized to use Mythos 5, including their non-American employees.
Two weeks into the ban that caused Anthropic to pull its powerful cybersecurity-oriented models , Mythos 5 and Fable 5, from the market, the Trump administration is softening its stance.
It is now allowing Anthropic to make Mythos 5 available to more than 100 specific U.S. government agencies and companies, including allowing the non-American employees at those organizations to access to the model, both Semafor and Reuters report. This list also includes Anthropic’s own non-American employees, who were included in the original ban that forbade non-Americans from accessing the models.
“I have determined that appropriate safeguards are in place to permit certain trusted partners to access the Claude Mythos 5 Model,” Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick wrote to Anthropic’s chief compute officer Tom Brown on Friday, according to the missive seen by Semafor.
Apparently, the administration did not address the release of Fable 5 in this directive . This is a version of Mythos 5 that was widely released a couple of days before the ban because it was said to have more protections. Both models were pulled after those guardrails were allegedly bypassed easily by security researchers. Anthropic did not immediately respond to our request for comment.
Anthropic on Friday publicly acknowledged the progress in a post on X , writing: “Since June 12, we’ve been working closely with the US government to restore access to Claude Mythos 5 and Fable 5. Today, the government notified us that Mythos 5, our strongest cybersecurity model, can be redeployed to a set of US organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. We’re restoring access for these organizations quickly, and we’re continuing to work with the government to expand access to Mythos 5 and make Fable 5 available for general use again.”

- Brazil should observe how the release impacts cybersecurity practices and market dynamics.
Editorial analysis
The release of the Mythos 5 model by the Trump administration for over 100 U.S. companies and government agencies marks a significant turning point in the regulation of AI technologies, particularly those focused on cybersecurity. This decision could influence the global AI landscape, including Brazil, where the adoption of cybersecurity technologies is increasingly critical. The possibility of access to advanced models may accelerate innovation and the implementation of security solutions in Brazilian companies, which often face challenges related to cyberattacks and data protection.
Moreover, the inclusion of non-American employees in the usage permissions for Mythos 5 raises questions about international regulation of sensitive technologies. In the Brazilian context, where legislation on data protection and cybersecurity is still developing, this approach could serve as a reference for future policies. Brazilian companies operating in critical sectors should closely observe how the release of Mythos 5 impacts market dynamics and cybersecurity practices.
Finally, the situation highlights the need for ongoing dialogue between governments and technology companies to ensure that innovations are implemented safely and responsibly. Brazil, in its efforts to strengthen its digital security infrastructure, could benefit from partnerships and collaborations with companies that have access to advanced technologies, such as Anthropic. The evolution of this scenario should be monitored, especially regarding the development and use of AI models in critical and security-sensitive environments.
