- President Donald Trump stated in an Axios interview that he no longer views Anthropic as a national security threat, reversing previous aggressive stances.
- Trump signaled he may ease restrictions on Anthropic's Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models, following a Commerce Department order requiring U.S. approval for foreign access.
- The shift came after Trump met Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei at the G7 Summit, amid tensions over the company's refusal to remove safety guardrails from military products.
- Anthropic's confidential IPO filing, with a valuation around $965 billion, faced uncertainty due to federal restrictions, making Trump's conciliatory tone significant for investor confidence.
- Despite Trump's comments, the Pentagon's supply-chain designation and Commerce Department's order remain in place, with no public indication from Anthropic on changing guardrail policies.
