Report: White House restricted Anthropic's Mythos AI over suspected China access
By
Terrence O'Brien
A good honest bake. Not flashy, but you'll finish the whole bagel.
Summary
A new Semafor report indicates the White House imposed export restrictions on Anthropic's Mythos AI due to fears that a China-linked group may have accessed it. If China accessed Mythos 5 or Fable 5, it could pose a serious national security risk, potentially allowing reverse engineering through distillation. The White House has not confirmed the report, and a post by Trump advisor David Sacks did not address the claims.
