This week, the Trump administration removed export restrictions on Anthropic's Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models. However, the company is still facing litigation against the government due to a designation by the Department of Defense that labels it as a supply chain risk, which implies a potential threat to U.S. national security.
This designation requires defense contractors to certify that they will not utilize Anthropic's technology in military-related projects.
