Cybersecurity Executives Urge the Trump Administration to Ease Restrictions on Anthropic AI Models

Over 100 cybersecurity executives from companies like Adobe and Nvidia are urging the Trump administration to lift its export restrictions on Anthropic's latest AI models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5, which the company took offline Friday to comply with the directive. The experts argue the restrictions could help US adversaries more than hurt them, noting that while the models are good at finding software vulnerabilities, they're not uniquely capable and that China's AI models are only months behind America's best. The restrictions come amid broader tensions between the Trump administration and Anthropic over AI safety measures and a separate contract dispute with the Pentagon over autonomous weapons.
