Commerce Department Partially Lifts the Emergency Export Ban on Claude Mythos 5
Storyboard18·medium signal
Anthropic's Mythos 5 was forcibly suspended on June 12 under an emergency export-control directive and only partially restored after two weeks of Commerce Department negotiations, codified in Secretary Lutnick's June 26 letter. No license is now required to export Mythos to Anthropic's US entities and their foreign-national employees, US government civilian agencies, and national labs — but everyone else still needs an export license. It marks the first real-world test of Washington's new frontier-AI review process.
