Trump says Anthropic is no longer a national-security threat, but the model restrictions still matter

Reuters and Axios are reporting a political shift around Anthropic: Trump now says he does not view the company as a national-security threat, after the earlier U.S. directive that forced Anthropic to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5.

This is useful context for the daily AI news article, but it is not an immediate breaking-news publish on its own. I did not find a fresh official Anthropic or U.S. government notice saying the export-control directive has been lifted, nor a confirmed restoration of builder access to the restricted models.

Why builders should care

The original Anthropic restriction remains the practical issue for teams: whether they can access Fable 5 and Mythos 5, especially outside the U.S. or through cloud providers.
A public softening from the White House may signal that the policy could change, but builders should not treat that as availability until Anthropic or the relevant platforms confirm it.
For procurement and platform-risk reviews, this remains a live example of frontier-model access changing because of government action rather than normal product policy.

Why this is not an immediate breaking article

There is no new model, API, product launch, pricing change, outage, security incident, acquisition, or confirmed regulatory/legal decision with immediate builder impact. It is a follow-up/context item to the already-published Fable/Mythos export-control story.
