Anthropic AI Models Return Online After US Government Talks

Anthropic’s large language models Mythos 5 and Fable 5 resumed public access on Wednesday following a temporary suspension announced last week. The company stated that the models were taken offline for “productive conversations” with U.S. government officials, though specific details about the discussions remain undisclosed. The decision to restore access comes amid heightened regulatory scrutiny of advanced AI systems, with Anthropic emphasizing its commitment to aligning with evolving policy frameworks.

On the same day, Kevin Warsh, the newly appointed Federal Reserve chairman, delivered his first public address at a financial policy forum in Washington, D.C. Warsh, a former Federal Reserve governor and current Treasury undersecretary, outlined his priorities for stabilizing inflation and supporting economic growth, while cautioning against excessive market volatility. His remarks were closely watched by investors assessing the central bank’s potential policy trajectory in the coming months.

Meanwhile, shares of Meta Platforms Inc. rose by 3.2% following reports that the company is expanding its cloud infrastructure division to compete with Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. The move, which includes hiring hundreds of engineers and investing in data center capacity, marks a strategic shift for Meta as it seeks to diversify revenue streams beyond its core social media platforms. Analysts noted that the cloud initiative could position Meta to capitalize on the growing demand for AI-driven computing resources.
