The U.S. government on Friday granted Anthropic permission to release its Mythos 5 model to a group of roughly 100 companies and federal agencies, according to multiple media reports.

The decision marks a major step forward in the negotiations between the Trump administration and the artificial intelligence company, which have been engaged in a two-week-long standoff over its latest models.

“We have worked diligently to ensure America remains the global leader and AI while safeguarding our security,” a Commerce Department spokesperson said in a statement to Reuters and Semafor.

Representatives for Anthropic and the White House didn’t immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comment.
