The US government has lifted restrictions on global access to Anthropic's advanced AI models, Claude Mythos 5 and Claude Fable 5, allowing the company to restore availability outside the United States. While Anthropic says the decision followed discussions with US authorities and the introduction of additional safety measures, Zoho founder Sridhar Vembu believes another factor played an important role. According to him, growing competition from Chinese open-source AI models may have pushed the US to ease restrictions in order to protect the global market position of American AI companies. Read Full Story Sharing his views on X, Vembu argued that the return of Anthropic's models to international users signals that Chinese AI development is now being taken seriously. "Anthropic's latest models available worldwide. In other words, Chinese open source models posed a serious enough threat to market share," he wrote. US clears Mythos and Fable for international release, Sridhar Vembu says China reason behind it His comments come shortly after Anthropic confirmed that Claude Fable 5 would once again be available globally after what it described as "a series of productive conversations" with the US government.
Anthropic restores access after US removes export controls Anthropic said the US Department of Commerce has removed the export controls that had temporarily blocked foreign access to Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5. The company said global rollout would resume from the following day, although some coding and debugging requests may temporarily be handled by its older Opus 4.8 model while new security systems are refined. The company also announced that it has deployed a new set of AI classifiers designed to identify and block cybersecurity-related misuse. Anthropic said these systems will continue to improve over the coming weeks to reduce false positives while ensuring legitimate users are not unnecessarily affected. In addition, the company revealed that it is working with Amazon, Microsoft, Google and other partners on a common framework for evaluating AI jailbreaks and determining how developers should respond to such security incidents. Anthropic also plans to expand its cooperation with the US government through pre-release testing of future models, information sharing on misuse, and joint AI safety research. The restrictions were introduced last month after the administration of US President Donald Trump ordered Anthropic to prevent foreign nationals, including some of its own employees, from accessing the company's most advanced models.
