Asian AI startups launch rival models to banned Anthropic systems amid US export restrictions
By
Kate Park
Summary
Asian AI startups are launching models that rival Anthropic's Mythos and Fable 5, which are currently banned from export to non-Americans by the Trump Administration. Chinese cybersecurity firm 360 unveiled Tulongfeng, claiming it competes with Mythos, while Tokyo-based Sakana AI launched Fugu, a model it says stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Anthropic's Fable 5 and Mythos Preview. These developments signal that U.S. export restrictions may be driving Asian competitors to build their own frontier AI capabilities, potentially costing American AI labs access to a massive market.
