Anthropic announced that the Department of Commerce had lifted export controls on the company's artificial intelligence models, reversing an order issued last month.
The move restores global access to Anthropic's Claude Mythos 5 and Claude Fable 5 models after Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick determined the company had taken sufficient steps to address national security concerns, The New York Times reported Tuesday.
Anthropic confirmed the decision in a statement on X, saying it would begin restoring access on Wednesday.
"We've received notice that the Department of Commerce has lifted export controls on Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5," Anthropic said. "We'll begin restoring access tomorrow."
The Commerce Department had imposed the restrictions June 12, requiring licenses for exports and in-country transfers of Anthropic's most advanced AI models.
The controls followed concerns that the company's powerful software, capable of identifying sophisticated cybersecurity vulnerabilities, could pose national security risks if widely distributed.
In a letter obtained by the Times, Lutnick said Anthropic had worked closely with the Trump administration to strengthen safeguards for its technology.
Those commitments include proactively identifying security risks, coordinating with the federal government on protocols for future AI models, and reporting malicious activity involving its systems.
The department also reserved the right to reinstate restrictions if Anthropic fails to meet those obligations.
The decision aligns with President Donald Trump's recent executive order promoting American leadership in artificial intelligence while encouraging voluntary cooperation between government and private industry rather than burdensome regulation.
Trump's order states the United States must "refuse to stifle this innovation with overly burdensome regulation" while ensuring advanced AI is deployed securely to strengthen national security and maintain America's technological dominance.
The executive order also establishes a voluntary framework for companies developing frontier AI models to provide the government with early access for cybersecurity reviews before broader release while explicitly rejecting mandatory licensing or permitting requirements.
White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles praised that collaborative approach Tuesday.
"Under President Trump's leadership the United States is the undisputed winner in the AI race," Wiles wrote on X. "Our shared priority remains: get the best tech deployed as quickly and safely as possible."
The export restrictions marked the second major dispute between the Trump administration and the San Francisco-based AI company this year.
Earlier this year, the Pentagon designated Anthropic an unacceptable supply-chain risk following disagreements over military applications of its technology.
