Anthropic executive: Confident that Mythos and Fable5 access will be restored "within the next few days"

```

American AI company Anthropic has announced that access to its most advanced AI models, Mythos and Fable 5, will be restored within days, after the White House ordered a ban on foreign citizens using these two models due to security risks. This incident has placed Anthropic at the center of export control disputes and cast a shadow over its expansion plans in Korea.

Chris Ciauri, Anthropic’s International Business General Manager, said at a press conference in Seoul on Wednesday, "We are very confident that these models will be available again within the next few days." The event was originally intended to celebrate Anthropic's business expansion in Korea, but questions about export controls and "Project Glasswing" quickly dominated the agenda.

The White House directive led Anthropic to suspend access to Mythos and Fable 5 worldwide—including within the US. This move has sparked concerns in the industry about the reliability of Anthropic's services, with some insiders warning that repeated clashes with the US government could damage its business reputation.

White House Order Triggers Comprehensive Blockade, Korean Telecom Company as Catalyst

According to the Washington Post, a Korean telecommunications company that could access Claude Mythos triggered the US directive, making Korea the focus of ongoing controversy around this White House order.

Anthropic stated that Mythos is capable of detecting code vulnerabilities previously considered unbreakable, meaning that in theory, a malicious attacker could cause devastating consequences with a single operation. For this reason, Anthropic decided not to make Mythos publicly available.

Regarding the shutdown, Anthropic previously commented that "We disagree with the idea that merely discovering a narrowly-defined potential jailbreak vulnerability should trigger a recall of commercial models deployed to hundreds of millions of users."

Project Glasswing: About 150 Partners Granted Specific Access

To address possible destructive capabilities of the Mythos model, Anthropic launched "Project Glasswing," allowing only select entities access to this model.

According to Anthropic, the project currently has about 150 partners, including tech giants like Google, Nvidia, Microsoft, and Apple.

Korean participants include Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and SK Telecom. Previous reports stated that Samsung and SK Hynix were also part of Anthropic's $65 billion funding round, paving the way for cooperative efforts in the chip sector.

Notably, Anthropic co-founder Tom Brown was originally scheduled to attend the Seoul press conference but was replaced at the last minute, and executives declined to comment on most questions related to the shutdown of Mythos.

Strategic Importance of Korean Market Highlighted, Anthropic Pledges Greater Investment

Though the controversy continues, Anthropic executives at the press conference emphasized the strategic significance of the Korean market. Choi Ki-young, Anthropic Korea’s representative director, stated that Korea has a stable and growing user base, covering developers and graphic designers, and ranks 12th globally in user activity.

Chris Ciauri identified Korea as one of the fastest-growing markets in the world and said they would increase investment in the region. "We have already begun to build a team that includes business staff, technical staff, policymakers, and operations personnel, and we’ll continue to rapidly grow this business in the coming months," he said.

However, some industry insiders remain cautious, believing that repeated friction between Anthropic and the US government could cause long-term risks to the stability and predictability of its services, potentially affecting the procurement decisions of corporate clients.
