The AI system so dangerous it was banned is returning

Anthropic has announced that the ban on its Mythos AI system has been lifted, allowing the company to expand access to the technology. The system was previously restricted due to safety concerns. Anthropic said it has been working with the US Commerce Department to ensure the latest models can be made available.

Mythos 5 will now be accessible to domestic and international partners through Anthropic's Glasswing program. The company did not disclose specific safety measures or changes made since the ban. The Commerce Department's role in the decision was not detailed in the announcement.

The lifting of the ban follows a period of heightened scrutiny of advanced AI systems. Anthropic has positioned itself as a safety-focused AI developer. The Glasswing program is described as a platform for controlled deployment to trusted partners, though the criteria for partner selection were not specified.
