Trump Administration Allows Anthropic to Release Mythos to Select US Organizations
特朗普政府允许 Anthropic 向部分美国机构发布 Mythos 模型
The US government has eased the restrictions it imposed on Anthropic’s most advanced AI model, Claude Mythos 5, allowing the company to grant access to more than 100 US organizations, including large corporations and government agencies. 美国政府已放宽了对 Anthropic 最先进 AI 模型 Claude Mythos 5 的限制，允许该公司向包括大型企业和政府机构在内的 100 多家美国组织开放访问权限。
In a letter sent to Anthropic’s cofounder and chief compute officer Tom Brown obtained by WIRED, US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told the AI lab it would permit certain trusted partners to access Mythos because he had “determined that appropriate safeguards are in place.” Semafor first reported the existence of the letter. 根据《连线》（WIRED）获得的一封发给 Anthropic 联合创始人兼首席计算官 Tom Brown 的信件，美国商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克（Howard Lutnick）告知该 AI 实验室，由于他已“确定相关保障措施已落实到位”，政府将允许特定的受信任合作伙伴访问 Mythos。Semafor 最先报道了这封信的存在。
“Anthropic has worked with the U.S. government to address risks associated with the Covered Models. These efforts have yielded significant progress,” Lutnick wrote. 卢特尼克写道：“Anthropic 已与美国政府合作，以解决与这些受控模型相关的风险。这些努力已经取得了重大进展。”
However, the government stopped short of permitting a broader rollout of the model, and said nothing about the fate of Claude Fable 5, the consumer-facing version of Mythos that Anthropic released with significant additional safeguards. Lutnick noted in his letter that the other requirements outlined in the initial directive he sent on June 12 remain in effect. 然而，政府并未允许该模型进行更广泛的推广，也未提及 Claude Fable 5 的命运——这是 Anthropic 在增加了大量额外保障措施后发布的 Mythos 消费者版本。卢特尼克在信中指出，他在 6 月 12 日发布的初步指令中概述的其他要求仍然有效。
“We received notice from the US government that Mythos 5, our strongest cybersecurity model, can be redeployed to a small group of cyber defenders and infrastructure providers,” Anthropic spokesperson Eduardo Maia Silva said in a statement to WIRED. “We are working to provision the approved set of providers and restore their access to Mythos 5 as quickly as possible. We are pleased to see this progress and continue to work with the government to expand access to Mythos 5 and make Fable 5 available for general use again.” Anthropic 发言人爱德华多·马亚·席尔瓦（Eduardo Maia Silva）在给《连线》的一份声明中表示：“我们收到了美国政府的通知，我们的最强网络安全模型 Mythos 5 可以重新部署给一小部分网络防御者和基础设施提供商。我们正在努力为获批的提供商配置权限，并尽快恢复他们对 Mythos 5 的访问。我们很高兴看到这一进展，并将继续与政府合作，扩大 Mythos 5 的访问范围，并使 Fable 5 能够再次供大众使用。”
Anthropic is still in discussions with the White House about restoring access to Fable 5, and they are expected to continue over the weekend, according to a person familiar with the matter. Both parties are hopeful the resolution of this incident will help inform a lasting policy framework for future model releases, the person said. 据一位知情人士透露，Anthropic 仍在与白宫讨论恢复 Fable 5 访问权限的问题，预计讨论将在周末继续。该人士表示，双方都希望此次事件的解决能有助于为未来的模型发布提供持久的政策框架参考。
The partial reinstatement comes roughly two weeks after the White House sent an export control directive to Anthropic that required the company to limit foreign nationals from accessing Mythos and Fable 5, including people working and living in the United States. In response, Anthropic disabled access to the models entirely. In his latest letter, Lutnick wrote that organizations approved to use Mythos may now allow their foreign national employees to access the model, and Anthropic may do the same for its own foreign national employees. 此次部分恢复访问权限发生在大约两周前白宫向 Anthropic 发送出口管制指令之后，该指令要求公司限制外国公民（包括在美国工作和生活的人员）访问 Mythos 和 Fable 5。作为回应，Anthropic 当时完全禁用了对这些模型的访问。在最新的信件中，卢特尼克写道，获准使用 Mythos 的组织现在可以允许其外国员工访问该模型，Anthropic 也可以对其自身的外国员工采取同样做法。
The Trump administration grew concerned about Anthropic’s rollout of Mythos after it learned the company granted access to a South Korean telecommunications firm it believed had ties to China, WIRED previously reported. Amazon and the National Security Agency also separately raised concerns to the White House that Fable 5 could be jailbroken, and the confluence of events convinced officials they needed to take action. 据《连线》此前报道，特朗普政府在得知 Anthropic 向一家其认为与中国有联系的韩国电信公司授予访问权限后，对 Anthropic 的 Mythos 发布产生了担忧。亚马逊和国家安全局也分别向白宫提出担忧，称 Fable 5 可能被“越狱”（jailbroken），这些事件的汇集促使官员们认为必须采取行动。
In recent weeks, Anthropic sent senior members from its cybersecurity and AI safety teams to Washington, DC to meet with Trump administration officials. Along with Brown, Anthropic’s public policy chief Sarah Heck have been leading the company’s discussions with the US Department of Commerce. 最近几周，Anthropic 派遣了其网络安全和 AI 安全团队的高级成员前往华盛顿特区，与特朗普政府官员会面。除了 Brown 之外，Anthropic 的公共政策主管 Sarah Heck 一直在领导该公司与美国商务部的讨论。
Getting Mythos 5 back online marks a promising step forward for Anthropic and the White House, but the saga has raised broader questions about the overall direction of US AI policy, particularly the extent to which the Trump administration will seek to control future model releases. On Friday, OpenAI announced it was delaying the release of its upcoming GPT 5.6 models in response to a request from the Trump administration. Mythos 5 的重新上线对 Anthropic 和白宫来说是一个积极的进展，但这一事件引发了关于美国 AI 政策总体方向的更广泛质疑，特别是特朗普政府将在多大程度上寻求控制未来的模型发布。周五，OpenAI 宣布响应特朗普政府的要求，推迟发布其即将推出的 GPT 5.6 模型。
Dean Ball, head of the strategic futures team at OpenAI and a former White House AI adviser, said in a June 16 blog post that Anthropic’s latest spat with the Trump administration has shown frontier AI model developers they “need an explicit green light from the government now.” OpenAI 战略未来团队负责人、前白宫 AI 顾问迪恩·鲍尔（Dean Ball）在 6 月 16 日的一篇博客文章中表示，Anthropic 与特朗普政府的最新争执表明，前沿 AI 模型开发者“现在需要政府明确的绿灯”。
Anthropic’s battles with the White House have been costly for the young company’s business. It sued the Trump administration earlier this year over a supply chain risk designation it received after trying to draw red lines around how military contractors could use its AI models. After the White House sent its export directive on the Friday evening of June 12, WIRED previously reported that some Anthropic investors worked through the weekend to determine what it meant for Anthropic’s corporate future. Anthropic 与白宫的博弈对这家年轻公司的业务造成了沉重代价。今年早些时候，该公司因试图为军事承包商如何使用其 AI 模型划定红线而收到供应链风险认定，随后起诉了特朗普政府。据《连线》此前报道，在白宫于 6 月 12 日周五晚间发送出口指令后，一些 Anthropic 的投资者在周末彻夜工作，以评估这对 Anthropic 的企业未来意味着什么。
