The AI model Mithos, previously deemed too dangerous for public release, is now being made available to a select group of organizations approved by the Trump administration. The exact nature of these organizations and the future accessibility of the model remain unclear due to the evolving AI regulatory environment.
“Mithos is back. Kind of. The anthropic model that was once deemed too dangerous to release publicly and actually threw even more chaos into the already chaotic relationship between Anthropic and the US government is now being released to a Trump administration approved list of organizations.”
“Who those organizations are, who they will be, whether you'll ever get to use Fable 5 again, hard to say.”
“Nobody seems to quite understand the AI regulatory environment right now.”
