3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 19

Summary

  • Trump said he does not view Anthropic as a US national-security threat, softening the signal from a Commerce Department order issued days earlier.
  • Commerce required Anthropic to seek US approval before any foreign national can use its most advanced Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models.
  • In the Axios interview posted Friday, Trump said the company had “behaved very responsibly,” indicating the administration’s concern is focused on access controls rather than Anthropic itself.
