The Commerce Department has lifted restrictions on Anthropic’s artificial intelligence models. This decision allows the company to reactivate its most advanced technologies, lessening tensions with the Trump administration.

According to a government letter seen by The New York Times, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick informed Anthropic of the change. The company no longer needs a license for exporting or in-country transfers of its Claude Mythos and Claude Fable A.I. models. This reverses an order from June 12.

Anthropic has taken steps in close coordination with the U.S. government to address the risks associated with Claude Mythos 5 and Claude Fable 5, Lutnick stated.

This decision marks a new phase in Anthropic’s complicated relationship with the federal government. The company can now largely resume normal operations. Initially, the Commerce Department had ordered a suspension of Anthropic’s current A.I. models access to all foreign nationals, citing national security concerns. This posed challenges to the company’s technology development.

Controls had raised questions about the Trump administration’s involvement in the artificial intelligence sector. Anthropic, alongside OpenAI, is a major player in the industry. Its Mythos and Fable models are known for effectively identifying software security vulnerabilities, representing a step forward from earlier A.I. models.

This was the second time the Trump administration targeted Anthropic. In March, after discussions about A.I. use in warfare, the Pentagon declared Anthropic an unacceptable supply chain risk. This could limit its role in federal agencies. In response, Anthropic has taken legal action against the government over this designation.
