China may have accessed Mythos
The White House imposed export restrictions on Anthropic's Mythos due to concerns it may have been accessed by a group linked to China. If China had access to Mythos 5 or Fable 5, it could pose a national security risk through potential reverse engineering. The White House has not confirmed the report, and Trump advisor David Sacks did not reference China in his post.
